Jose Aldo’s next title defense against Conor McGregor is in jeopardy after the UFC featherweight got injured in a sparring session at Nova Uniao, and his teammate is devastated.

Alcides Nunes, a 5-0 lightweight from Nova Uniao, was training with the UFC star in Rio de Janeiro when he ended up breaking Aldo’s ribs with a spinning back kick. Aldo vs. McGregor, scheduled to headline UFC 189 in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 11, is now in danger.

"I threw a kick but slipped with all the sweat on the mat, and ended up hitting his rib," Nunes told MMAFighting.com. "I was mimicking McGregor’s unorthodox style, things he does in the fight. I’m also left-handed, my style is similar to his, so that’s why they asked me to be part of his camp, but I ended up slipping and causing this injury."

Nunes, who started training at Nova Uniao three years ago and is undefeated in MMA with four finishes in five professional bouts, reveals that Aldo continued to train after he got hit, but eventually stopped and was rushed to the hospital.

"He finished the round, and then decided to stop," Nunes said. "I’m sure he would continue to train if he could. He’s a warrior and was really well prepared for this fight."

Nova Uniao head coach Andre Pederneiras was expected to meet with Aldo’s doctors on Wednesday to decide his next move, and Nunes is upset with the possibility of forcing his teammate out of the biggest fight of his career.

"I’m still sad about all this," he said. "As a fan and an athlete, I know this is devastating. I’m really sad. Aldo was in shape and prepared for this fight."

Chael p Sonnen said it right, Aldo would be an idiot to pull out of this fight. He's never drawn a big fan base and never hit viewer thresholds to get a ppv kickback.

He should feel honored for the opportunity to meet the mcgregor hype train. Everyone in that division should be sucking Conor's toes and thanking him for bringing attention to that division that it has never seen before.

Exactly. I mean, I think Conor should feel honored, but Aldo should be excited at the prospect of the huge ppv money he would get from this fight... it's retarded to think he isn't trying his best to get in the cage. He has to know that if he drops out and Conor loses to Edgar that they aren't going to meet for a year+ if ever, meaning that Aldo will have to go back to the same matchups that didn't sell the first time.

The guy isn't stupid, and he's talked about how he wants more money.. Here's his chance to make that money and become a bigger name by stopping the mcgregor hype train and everyone thinks he's gonna fake an injury :rolleyes:

A lightweight nobody has ever heard of cracked Aldo's rib with a spinning back kick.... Mcgregor would of shattered his entire rib cage with one of his spinning back kicks.
