Karo Parisyan has been forced out of the bout against Yushiyuki Yoshida at UFC 88 scheduled to start in a few hours. The fight has been taken off the card.
Not much information is available as of now, except for the fact that Karo is out due to a back injury suffered during the preparation to the fight.
The most likely bout to replace this would be the fight between Thiago Tavares and Kurt Pellegrino.
[...] Here’s the quick recap: Rousimar has really strong BJJ from the guard and from the top. Henderson has a tendency to be taken down. If Hendo cannot keep the fight standing and bang Palhares out in the first minute or two, Palhares by decision. Palhares has the better ground skills. I see him sweeping Hendo from top position and showcasing his strong BJJ skills to either get a late tapout or get a grinding decision against the former PRIDE champion. Prediction: Rousimar Palhares by decision Fight #2: Yushiyuki Yoshida vs Karo Parisyan This fight has been scrapped. [...]
