Karo Parisyan Hurt, Will Not Fight at UFC 88

By Michael David Smith - Lead Blogger

The UFC announced today that Karo Parisyan is injured and will not fight Yoshiyuki Yoshida at UFC 88 Saturday night in Atlanta. It's too late to find a replacement to fight Yoshida, so that fight has been scrapped.

There is no word on what happened to Parisyan, other than the UFC referring to it as a "last-minute back injury." Parisyan-Yoshida was scheduled for the televised portion of the card.

A match-up with Yoshida would have been a good one, and if Parisyan's injury isn't too serious, it would make sense for the two to fight again at a later event, perhaps UFC 89 on October 18.
