John Hathaway Injured, out of Bout with Gunnar Nelson at UFC 189

The lineup for UFC 189 is currently under fire, and John Hathaway is the latest confirmed fighter to fall victim to injury.

While a fractured rib (h/t Globo/Brazil) suffered by featherweight king Jose Aldo has his highly anticipated bout with Conor McGregor in serious jeopardy, the British welterweight was forced to withdraw from his upcoming bout with Gunnar Nelson due to an undisclosed injury suffered in training as confirmed by UFC officials on Tuesday.

The news was originally reported by MMA Junkie and is the latest setback in a string of rough turns for the once-touted prospect.
