Young boxer Shane Young was arranged to play with Omar Morales in the opening match of the UFC 260 event. However, Young was forced to be isolated and deprived of the right to play due to close contact with the champion Alexander Volkanovski, who had a positive result with Covi-19.
Earlier at UFC Vegas 22, boxer Brad Riddell also suddenly lost the opportunity to play with the same cause as above.
All of these boxers are practicing at the City Kickboxing martial arts club with Alexander Volkanovski. Currently, all members must participate in testing and isolate for a while.
Young vs. Morales is considered to be an extremely attractive match because both of them are fighters with a double and uncompromising style. Currently, the UFC organizers are still looking for martial artists to replace this match while less than a week UFC 260 will take place.
