Dana White seeks to calm everyone down after UFC fans freak out over Jose Aldo injury rumours

We're going to need a little more reassurance than that Dana.

UFC fans are still coming to terms with news of the possible cancellation of the Conor McGregor v Jose Aldo fight 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... https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/613436378567868416 ...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. https://twitter.com/danawhite/status/613456440175398912 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.
