Jose Aldo’s Rib X-Rays

Fight fans globally were shocked when a rib fracture forced the UFC featherweight champion, Jose Aldo, out of his highly touted bout against Conor McGregor at UFC 189. In fact, everyone was shocked. From Dana White and Joe Silva to the average fan nobody saw this coming, except for Conor McGregor and his psychic powers.

Back in December of 2014, McGregor was quoted in a video diary saying he could see Aldo pulling out of their scheduled bout and Frankie Edgar stepping in as a late replacement.
