UFC welterweight Phil Baroni (13-12 MMA, 3-6 UFC) is out of next month’s UFC 118 event and his fight with John Salter (5-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) due to a collarbone injury.
Baroni’s agent, Ken Pavia of MMAAgents.com, today confirmed the news with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
“He suffered a minor injury that interrupted his preparations,” Pavia said. “It’s not going to be a long-term problem.”
UFC 118 takes place Aug. 28 at TD Garden in Boston, and Baroni vs. Salter was slated for the un-aired preliminary card.
A replacement search is underway, and Baroni is expected to be added to a fall UFC card. However, Baroni declined to comment on the injury when contacted by MMAjunkie.com earlier today.
