We’re going to need a little more reassurance than that Dana.
UFC fans and particularly Irish UFC fans are still coming to terms with news of the possible cancellation of the biggest fight of Conor McGregor’s career next month.
Word on the street in Brazil is that Jose Aldo has suffered a fractured rib in training that would put his participation in UFC 189 on July 11 in serious jeopardy.
Well-placed UFC sources have since moved to downplay concerns and have suggested the fight is still on for now…
Here's the facts: Aldo did get hurt (first reported by @anahissa), he has also not pulled out of the fight. As of right now, it's still on.

…and a tweet from UFC head honcho Dana White this evening would appear to suggest that we might be over-reacting just a little bit.
Relax everyone

We’d prefer a little more reassurance than that Dana, but hopefully the situation, whatever it is, will become a lot clearer really soon.
Fingers crossed McGregor v Aldo will still go ahead on July 11.
