Newcomers step in to fight Ricardo Ramos, Jordan Griffin at UFC Minneapolis

Ricardo Ramos and Jordan Griffin have new opponents for UFC Minneapolis on June 29, the promotion announced.

Ramos, originally slated to face Sergio Pettis in a bantamweight clash, will now take on Journey Newson. Griffin, previously booked against Chas Skelly, now faces featherweight Vince Murdock. The Fight Night event takes place at Target Center in Minneapolis.

Newson (9-1) makes his first walk to the Octagon after scoring six straight wins in the regional circuit, including five finishes. “Carcacinha” Ramos (12-2) looks to rebound from a first-round defeat to Said Nurmagomedov last February that dropped his UFC record to 3-1.
