Gillian Robertson vs. Miranda Maverick scratched from UFC 258 lineup

Tonight’s UFC 258 lineup is down to 10 fights.

Per a release from the promotion, Robertson’s (9-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) removal from the bout with Maverick (8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was due to “non-COVID related issue.” No further information on her status was released at this time.
