The Bellator 250 card, which airs tonight on CBS Sports, has unfortunately lost two anticipated matchups at the last minute.<\/p>\n

According to a report from MMA Fighting<\/a>, a Bellator 250 main card fight between Veta Arteaga and Desiree Yanez and an undercard fight between Nick Newell and Zach Zane have been scratched from the lineup.<\/p>\n

A middleweight tilt Ty Gwerder and Dalton Rosta has been bumped to the main card to replace the scrapped Arteaga vs. Yanez fight.<\/p>\n

MMA Fighting did not specify why these UFC 250 fights were cancelled, however, Yanez confirmed on Instagram that her bout fell through because Arteaga tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

*sigh* well guys… my fight is unfortunately cancelled tonight due to my opponent getting tested positive for Covid. I really don\u2019t know what to say other than I was more than ready for battle and still am. @bellatormma is going to get this match up back as soon as they possibly can. I am beyond devastated, but everything happens for a reason. More time to prepare. I love you all and the support has been so unreal to me. Don\u2019t worry, the fight will happen soon enough. 🙏 and luckily for me, @bellatormma is stuck with me for a good while 🤪. \u2014 to my sponsors, I will be honoring you guys for whenever we get this match up going again. I love y\u2019all and couldn\u2019t do this without all. \u2014 I love all my fans, my coaches, my managers, and my teammates for constantly sticking by my side! My time is coming. I just know it. 🙏🤍<\/a><\/p>\n
