Carlos Condit Pulls Out of UFC 108 Bout With Paul Daley
Carlos Condit has pulled out of his scheduled UFC 108 contest with Paul Daley due to an injury, according to various reports. The fight was scheduled to appear on the main card of the pay-per-view, which is headlined by a light heavyweight fight between Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva.
Daley has asked for a new opponent, and gave a few possible names:
Koshcheck…is a tough motherf*cker, but I accept the challenge. Hazellet has sick subs, and is dangerous, but I accept that fight too. Any top level fighter in 170lbs with a winning record. Joe make it happen.
Koscheck last fought at UFC 106, submitting Anthony Johnson in the 2nd round. Dustin Hazelett was scheduled to fight Karo Parisyan on the same card, but Parisyan pulled out of the fight the day before the event. Either one would pose a serious threat to Daley, a vaunted striker but someone who has struggled on the ground. Daley last fought at UFC 103, getting a TKO victory over Martin Kampmann.
UFC 108 takes place January 2nd, 2010, in Las Vegas.
*UPDATE*
According to reports, Dustin Hazelett will indeed be Condit’s replacement against Daley. He was offered the bout today, and agreed to the fight.
