Francis “Limitless” Carmont, comes to the UFC from Quebec, by way of Paris, FR. The 31 year-old middlweight has yet to taste to defeat in his time in the Octagon, going 5 for 5 in the cage since he joined the promotion in 2011.

Constantinos “Costas” Philipou is also on a 5 fight winning streak in the Octagon, most recently defeating the heavy handed Tim Boetsch at UFC 155. The 33 year-old Belmore Boxing camp member is known for his stout striking and gritty determination, and will be looking to put his skills to the test against Carmont. With his improving takedown defense, Philippou will try to sprawl and brawl his way to victory, hopefully earning the KO in the process. Will he be able to put fist to chin and put himself into the title shot conversation at the expense of “Limitless?”
UFC 165 goes down Sept. 21st at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, ON. The card is headlined by a light heavyweight title bout between champion Jon “Bones” Jones and the first challenger of his generation, Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson.
