UFC 187 is in jeopardy of taking its second major hit in as many days with word that Khabib Nurmagomedov has suffered a knee injury in training.
Nurmagomedov was scheduled to have his knee examined on Thursday morning which would determine whether he could fight on May 23.
Nurmagomedov (22-0), suffered a knee injury in training, coming off surgery for a torn ACL which has kept him out of action for more than one year. In that time, Rafael; dos Anjos, who Nurmagomedov defeated in his last fight via winning via a straight 30-27 score, had defeated Anthony Pettis to take the lightweight title.
