Citing a back injury Karo Parisyan withdrew from his fight with Yoshiyuki Yoshida that was set to take place tonight on PPV. Dong Hyun Kim and Matt Brown will now be featured on PPV and UFC 88's total fight card will contain 9 fights.
This is some bad news for everyone involved. It sucks for the fans because a thin fight card became even thiner. It sucks for the UFC due to a lower quality fight being featured, maybe hurting PPV buys. It sucks for Yoshida to put all that work in for the other guy to get hurt the night before. And it is a big blow to Karo Parisyan. I don't blame him for pulling out (nor would most girls). He just lost his last fight and if this injury would contribute to a loss tonight than his career would be in serious danger.
This incident is an example of how doing the right thing is sometimes really shitty.
