Dana White is doubling down on his claim that Jose Aldo isn't pulling out of UFC 189 with a broken rib, insisting that the medical charts Aldo released showed an aggravated old injury and that fear is driving the champ's decision.
If there was any doubt that the UFC was going to bury Jose Aldo for withdrawing from UFC 189, this clears out a lot of it. While Jose Aldo and his camp have held steadfast in their report that Aldo's rib is broke, the UFC president is telling a very different story. White spoke to MMAFighting about the injury stating that the x-rays Aldo provided didn't show a fractured rib, but instead a calcified injury that had been re-aggravated.
