The bout between Sergio Pettis and Raufeon Stots joins PFL 7, taking place at Wintrust Arena in Chicago on June 27. The pair square off at bantamweight, kicking off the main card.
Former Bellator MMA 135-pound champion Pettis (23-7) looks to rebound from two defeats. In his previous outing last June, the native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin dropped a unanimous decision to Kyoji Horiguchi. Before that, in November 2023, the 31-year-old lost his belt by submission in the second round against Patchy Mix.
Stots (21-2), who held the division’s interim Bellator strap, targets his third win in a row. The 36-year-old native of Houston, Texas submitted Marcos Breno in the third round at “PFL: Battle of the Giants” last October and scored a UD over Danny Sabatello at the same Bellator 301 event in Chicago in November 2023.
