Phillipe Nover Suffers Seizure, Pulled From “UFN 19”
UFC fighter and “The Ultimate Fighter” alumnus Phillipe “The Filipino Assassin” Nover (6-2-1) suffered a seizure in the locker room just before his scheduled lightweight bout with Sam “Hands of Stone” Stout (14-5-1) at the UFC's "Ultimate Fight Night 19." This is not the first time Nover has suffered neurological symptoms as he famously fainted in the opening moments of "TUF" season 8, earning the nickname “faint-boy.” Nover quickly recovered from the incident and was seemingly fine just minutes later, however the fight was called off out of concern for the fighter's safety.
