Jose Aldo Expected to Train Tuesday, Make a Decision on Conor McGregor Fight
Judgment day could come on Tuesday forAldo is expected to train and make a final decision on whether he’ll defend his UFC featherweight title against McGregor over a week from now at UFC 189.
The reigning UFC featherweight champion injured his ribs during a sparring session nearly a week ago. Initial reports from Brazilian doctors were that Aldo had suffered a fractured rib, which would likely knock him out of the highly anticipated championship bout.
However, a second opinion from American doctors revealed Aldo’s rib wasn’t fractured. It was a bone bruise and cartilage injury, proving once again that Uncle Dana knows best.
