A welterweight bout between Matt Riddle (5-3) and Luis Ramos (19-7) has been scratched from the UFC 141 undercard due to an undisclosed illness to Riddle. UFC officials tweeted the news late Friday afternoon.

Due to the delay, the UFC 141 Facebook undercard is now slated to begin at 7:15 p.m. ET/4:15 p.m. PT with a lightweight battle between Efrain Escudero and Jacob Volkmann. All Facebook undercard contests can be streamed live on the UFC's Facebook page.
