Ännu är det inte bestämt om fjäderviktsmästaren Jose Aldo kommer att få möta Conor McGregor under UFC 189 den 11 juli, då han lider av en skada på revbenen. Enligt Bob Bennett på NAC (Nevada Athletic Commission) så ser det dock mycket ljust ut, och detta hade han att säga via ”ESPN”:
Right now, according to Dr. Trainor’s communications with Dr. Davidson, it appears Aldo had a rib contusion and a cartilage injury. Dr. Trainor is currently awaiting to see the medical documents and at this point in time, we think it is highly unlikely Aldo will have any trouble competing. Dr. Trainor has told me this type of injury is fairly common and usually improves within a few days.
We already have Dr. Trainor in communication with the UFC and we are making sure Aldo’s injury is not going to prevent him from fighting. We’re already working on it now. We’ve been discussing this for the last week, going back and forth, trying to get documents. Upon further medical review of Aldo’s documents, we will have a confirmed answer.
Om inte Aldo kan gå matchen så kommer Chad Mendes att hoppa in istället för titelhållaren, för att möta McGregor i Las Vegas.
