T.J. Dillashaw Injured title rematch scrapped
T.J. Dillashaw (11-2 ) has suffered a fractured rib and had his title fight against Renan Barao (33-2) scrapped from UFC 186.
Dillashaw suffered the injury in training and had this to say on Instagram.
“First of all I want apologize to all my fans and everyone looking forward to this fight. I unfortunately had to pull out of the fight do to a fractured rib. Just a freak accident during wrestling practice. This is heart breaking to me because I was looking forward to this fight and never want to be a fighter having to pull out of a fight. I will heal up quick and come back as soon as I can. Thx for the support”
It is not known if Barao will stay on the card and have the UFC find him another opponent.
