Jose Aldo is still waiting for test results, but the UFC champ could be out until October if the fracture is as severe as they think.
News broke on Tuesday that Jose Aldo has suffered a rib injury while sparring and has put his UFC 189 main event bout against Conor McGregor in jeopardy. They're still waiting on what the test results reveal tomorrow, but if it's as bad as they think it is, Aldo could be out until October on the earliest.
"If the fracture is really confirmed, 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," Nova Uniao head coach Andre Pederneiras said.
