UFC 155 was supposed to feature Tim Boetsch against Chris Weidman in a key middleweight bout. Weidman, though, ended up suffering an injury in training last month and had to bow out of the fight.
The UFC didn’t have to look to far in a replacement, as Weidman‘s, training partner, Costa Philippou stepped up to face Boetsch this coming Saturday.
Both guys are on four-fight winning streaks, but Boetsch is closer to a title shot considering the opponents he has faced during that time.
Let’s break down the fight and see who has the advantages and who will win.
