| Subject: Cut Knocks Costa Philippou Out of UFC on FX 8 Fight with Jacare Fri May 03, 2013 10:05 am | |

- According to MMAFighting, a cut above Costa Philippou’s (pictured) eye has forced the middleweight out of his critical shootout against former Strikeforce champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza.
UFC on FX 8 takes place May 18 inside Jaragua Arena in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil. With just two weeks remaining until showtime, it’s unknown whether the promotion will scour its roster for a last-minute substitute or shelf Jacare for another day.
The 185-pound affair was slated to co-headline the festivities.
Philippou has been quietly, yet violently, making his way up the 185-pound totem pole by winning his last six bouts. He was most recently seen posting a TKO victory over Tim Boetsch at UFC 155. http://www.5thround.com/145782/report-cut-knocks-costa-philippou-out-of-ufc-on-fx-8-fight-with-jacare-souza/ | |
