UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo (18-1 MMA) has pulled out of his upcoming title fight with Josh Grispi (14-1 MMA, 4-0 WEC). The fight was scheduled to co-main event UFC 125.
Aldo, who was the reigning WEC champion, was awarded the first ever UFC featherweight title just before UFC 123. This would have been his first title defense; he will have to wait just a little longer to debut in the UFC. An injury suffered from a compacted vertebrae causing tingling in both arms will force him to take at least a month off from training.
Josh Grispi (14 -1 MMA) will now fight replacement Dustin Poirier (8-1 MMA) who started his MMA career with seven straight wins before losing his WEC debut to Danny Castillo by decision at WEC 50. He rebounded with a win in his next fight with Zachary Micklewright by TKO in the first round at WEC 52.
