A report broke Tuesday that Jose Aldo had suffered a rib injury that may keep him out of one of the most anticipated UFC fights of all time, scheduled for July 11th. No word has come from the Aldo camp or the UFC about the status of the fight, but that didn’t stop Twitter.
Response from Aldo’s opponent, Conor McGregor?
And finally, the only words we’ve heard from the UFC’s mouthpiece…
Hopefully the fight goes on as scheduled, but if Aldo did indeed fracture a rib, there’s no way he’s getting in the cage 17 days from today.
