Just hours before the official weigh-ins for UFC 88, a welterweight bout between Karo Parisyan and Yoshiyuki Yoshida has been scrapped.
The official announcement was made on the UFC's official website, citing a "last-minute back injury" that forced Parisyan to withdraw.
A source close to Parisyan told MMAjunkie.com that the fighter "wasn't in the best of shape," but it wasn't clear whether Parisyan's conditioning was a factor in his withdrawal. |
