Youngstown, Ohio’s quickly filling Sept. 2 fight card, which takes place at the Covelli Center and airs on Versus has a new addition: a lightweight bout between Anthony Pettis (7-0 MMA, 1-0 WEC) and Alex Karalexis (10-4 MMA, 4-2 WEC).

WEC officials could not immediately confirm the bout, which was first reported by MMAMadness.com, but a source close to the negotiations confirmed to MMAjunkie.com that bout agreements have been signed.

The bout is expected to take place on the night’s unaired preliminary card.
