A disappointed Dana White discusses Jose Aldo's removal from UFC 189.
Fears of Jose Aldo's withdrawal from UFC 189 have come to life as it was announced yesterday that the featherweight champ will not be defending his belt against Conor McGregor in the main event. Aldo suffered a rib injury during a sparring session last week and it's been decided that the bruising, or fracture -- depending on whether you listen to Brazilian or American doctors -- is too severe for Aldo to compete.
Aldo vs. McGregor had been hailed as the most promoted fight in UFC history and the most anticipated featherweight fight of all-time.
