Anthony Ivy and Christian Aguilera meet at UFC event on June 13
The UFC is rewarding Anthony Ivy for stepping up short notice at UFC 250 then having his debut canceled.
Just days ago, Ivy stepped in for Ian Heinisch to fight Gerald Meerschaer at UFC 250 on June 6. Although one of Heinisch’s corners initially tested positive for COVID-19, it was later proved to be an inaccurate result. Ivy’s UFC debut was postponed once Heinisch and Meerschaert were back on for tonight’s event.
First reported by Sherdog, Anthony Ivy is slated to fight Christian Aguilera at UFC’s event on June 13.
