Once again, Anthony Pettis has fallen injured and will not be able to answer the bell for an upcoming fight. This time, Myles Jury is the opponent left without a dance partner, and the diminished event is UFC on Fox 16, scheduled for July 25 in Chicago.
Fortunately for fight fans, UFC officials were able to quickly secure a replacement. High-octane striker Edson Barboza will step in for Pettis and will have the presumed benefit of a reasonably long camp for preparation.
The news was initially reported on Fox Sports Live and subsequently reported by Mike Bohn of MMAJunkie.
