Sergio Pettis has pulled out of his fight against Ricardo Ramos for UFC Minneapolis for an undisclosed reason, leaving 12-2 Ricardo Ramos currently without an opponent. UFC Minneapolis takes place in only two weeks on June 29, but the UFC has been known to pull together short-notice replacements in tighter windows than this. As of this writing, though, there is no word on who will be Pettis’s replacement.

Sergio Pettis is yet to compete in 2019, with his last bout occurring in December of 2018 in a loss in his UFC bantamweight debut to Rob Font. Pettis’s hopes of making a strong second impression in his new home will now have to wait for an unspecified period of time.

That said, he did find himself on the losing end for the first time in his UFC career to Said Nurmagomedov via TKO in February. It is not yet confirmed if Ramos will remain on the card, but that appears to be the expectation.
