Pettis out Korean Zombie in at UFC 163
According to a recent Dana White Tweet, it appears Anthony Pettis has been pulled from the UFC 163 Featherweight Title fight against Jose Aldo and the Korean Zombie will be taking Showtimes’s place. No word on the severity of the knee injury but this is no doubt a really tough break for Pettis who has been marred by some bad luck in the last few years. It doesn’t seem like the “Fight Gods” want Anthony Pettis to fight for a title anytime soon.
Chan-Sung Jung (Korean Zombie) was scheduled to fight Ricardo Lamas at UFC 162 on July 6 in Las Vegas, Nevada. No word on if Lamas will have a new opponent on that upcoming fight card.
