MMA

Curtis Blaydes vs. Derrick Lewis has a new date.

The heavyweight fight, which was originally scheduled for Nov. 28, will headline the UFC Fight Night event on Feb. 20, according to sources.

The fight was canceled on Nov. 27 after Blaydes tested positive for COVID-19.

Blaydes vs. Lewis could produce the next contender for the UFC heavyweight title after champion Stipe Miocic defends his belt against Francis Ngannou later this year.

Blaydes (13-2) has won his past four in a row, while Lewis has won his past three fights.
