BREAKING NEWS: RDA out of UFC 196 with foot injury
Rafael dos Anjos out of UFC 196 with Conor McGregor.
The biggest MMA fight in
history was set to for Saturday march 5th in Las Vegas, Conor McGregor
the UFC featherweight champion of the world was set to fight Rafael Dos Anjos
the UFC’s lightweight champion. This fight was going to be the first time two
current UFC champions faced off inside the octagon.
However there have been multiple reports today saying Rafael Dos Anjos is out due
to a foot injury. The UFC has not made any official announcements about the
fight but a broken foot will side line RDA. It is also unclear if McGregor will
stay on the card, but Long Island MMA believes it is more than likely that
Conor will fight on the card.
This is not the first time something like this has happened to Conor, on July
11th 2015 Conor was set to face the Jose Aldo who held the 145lb
belt, but Aldo was sidelined. The UFC offered Conor Chad Mendes an almost
complete opposite stylistic match up and Conor took that fight without
hesitation. So if we had to guess we would imagine Conor would fight someone at
155 on March 5th the question is who?
