The latest bout added to the Montreal event is a pivotal middleweight showdown between Canadian Nick Ring and American Constantinos Philippou.
| Quote:
Ring (13-1) is looking to build his momentum back up after a loss – the first of his career – to Tim Boetsch at UFC 135. He started back on the right track with a unanimous decision over Court McGee at UFC 149 in July.
He’ll face Philippou (11-2), who is already riding a wave towards title contention. After stumbling against Nick Catone in his UFC debut, Philippou has been on a tear, reeling off four consecutive victories.

I don't see how you claim he's close to title contention... But this is definitely his fight to lose. Nick doesn't pose takedown problems and needs to be weary of Philippou's power.
I don't see Nick's kicks being enough to shake Philippou out of a very dominant boxing approach.

I like Philippou for this fight. Ring's UFC run hasn't impressed me too much and I felt his fights with both Fukuda and McGee were razor close(I had him losing both). OK matchup.

Yeah, I haven't been all the impressed with Ring either. I also had Mcgee winning their fight. This fight is going to stay standing and Consta is going to get the KO.

Hope Consta knocks him out in the first round!

This should be a good fight.
Could someone give the "no, no" Nick Ring finger gif?

i like nick ring (even if he seems a lil curious), but phillippou's got this.
and i would agree, with four straight wins, he is on a roll toward title contention. a win over ring would surely get him a top middleweight, possibly boetch if he loses to weidman.
