A huge flyweight division attraction has been added to the upcoming UFC 211 card as #2 Henry Cejudo will be in action against #5 Sergio Pettis.
Cejudo (10-2-0) will be entering the fight on a two fight losing streak, with those losses coming to UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez. Cejudo will be fighting on a pay-per-view card for the first time in nearly two years and his last UFC PPV appearance was at UFC 188. Cejudo started off his professional MMA career with a ten fight undefeated streak, with four of those wins coming in the UFC.
Pettis (15-2-0) will be coming into the fight on a three fight winning streak, defeating Chris Cariaso, Chris Kelades and John Moraga. Pettis is the younger brother of former UFC Lightweight Champion and UFC Interim Featherweight Title challenger Anthony Pettis.
