Tested positive for Covid and won’t be
fighting next week. Tried to stay as safe as possible during
fightcamp but with mma training there’s virtually no social
distancing. Was looking forward to running it back, maybe in the
near future.

Angela
Hill has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be able to
compete against Tecia
Torres at UFC
256 as expected.
The strawweight fighter announced the news on social media Sunday
night.
“Tested positive for Covid and won’t be fighting next week. Tried
to stay as safe as possible during fightcamp but with mma training
there’s virtually no social distancing. Was looking forward to
running it back, maybe in the near future,” Hill wrote.
“Was a little sick over the weekend but feeling back to normal now.
Would be trying to fight under different circumstances but thankful
for my health and some time to recover.”
UFC 256 takes place on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is
headlined by a flyweight title bout between Deiveson
Figueiredo and Brandon
Moreno. It is currently unknown if the promotion will seek a
replacement opponent for Torres.
Torres earned a unanimous decision over Hill in their first meeting
at UFC 188 in 2015. Hill was hoping to compete for a fifth time in
2020 after compiling a 2-2 record thus far. The 35-year-old
Alliance MMA representative has endured some rough luck of late,
dropping back-to-back split decisions at the hands of Claudia
Gadelha and Michelle
Waterson.
