Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will no longer be competing this Thursday. Originally paired up against Alexander Martinez in PFL 4’s main event, ‘Showtime’, per Ag Fight’s report, has fallen ill and was forced to pull out of the card.
Natan Schulte, who won the last two Professional Fighters League lightweight championships, will step in on short notice to replace Pettis.
However, whatever sickness got Pettis down won’t keep him away for long. PFL confirmed that Anthony is re-scheduled to come back just two weeks later on June 25. His new opponent will be Raush Manfio, Schulte’s original opponent from this Thursday’s show.
