UFC 187 was originally considered the crown jewel of the UFC's 2015 slate of events. Now, after suffering two major blows in as many days, it will be a much lesser beast that slouches into Las Vegas on May 23.
Khabib Nurmagomedov, the undefeated Dagestani Russian phenom, is now apparently injured and out of his lightweight title eliminator bout with Donald Cerrone. That's according to a report published Wednesday night by John Morgan of MMAJunkie.com.
The injury is in Nurmagomedov's meniscus, and it is unclear whether surgery will be required or when he might return to competition.
