A pair of young bantamweight fighters are headed to Minessota for a fight with fireworks potential. UFC officials announced on Wednesday that Sergio Pettis will square off against up-and-coming Brazilian prospect Ricardo Ramos at UFC Minneapolis, on June 29.
Currently on a two-fight losing skid, Sergio Pettis (17-5) moved back up to the bantamweight division in his last outing after an eight-fight stint at flyweight, but was welcomed with a unanimous decision loss to Rob Font this past December. Before the Font loss, the 25-year-old also dropped a decision to flyweight contender Jussier Formiga in October, which makes his last Octagon win a split decision over Joseph Benavidez at UFC 225 in June.
