Philippou vs. Ring Moved to UFC 154 Main Card While Diabate vs. Griggs To Prelims | UFC News
A previously scheduled FX preliminary bout between middleweights Costa Philippou (11-2, 1 NC) and Nick Ring (13-1) has been moved to the main card of UFC 154, replacing a light-heavyweight match between Cyrille Diabate and Chad Griggs.
The change was recently made on the UFC home page.
Philippou is currently riding a four-fight win streak and holds a 4-1 record in the UFC. Ring is coming off of a win over Court McGee in what was his first fight back since his first professional loss.
