Israel Adesanya is expected to pass his pre-fight medicals and compete in the UFC 248 pay-per-view (PPV) main event, where he’ll put his 185-pound title on the line against power-punching contender, Yoel Romero, this Sat. night (March 7, 2020) inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

But what about those rumors of Staph infection?

Adesanya (18-0) remains unbeaten inside the Octagon and is coming off a second-round destruction of former 185-pound kingpin, Robert Whittaker, at UFC 243 last October. Romero (13-4), meanwhile, is hoping to rebound in the biggest way possible after coming up short against Paulo Costa at UFC 241 back in August.
