Jose Aldo Injured

Next month’s UFC title defense is in jeopardy, after Jose Aldo suffered and injury in training. One of the most anticipated fights of the year may have to wait.

UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has suffered a rib injury and is questionable for his grudge match with rival Conor McGregor (17-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC).

He broke his rib during a sparring session in Rio de Janeiro for his July 11 bout with Conor McGregor in Las Vegas. Despite the injury, “Scarface” still plans on fighting “The Notorious.” Aldo will have to stop training, do nothing for three or four weeks until it’s fixed, and then he would be able to do any exercise without forcing his rib,” the coach said.
