UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw became the latest fighter bit by the injury bug. He’s out of his planned UFC 186 title defense against Renan Barao . Dillashaw suffered a rib fracture during training on Monday night and has been forced out of the bout. UFC president Dana White on Tuesday announced the news during an Tuesday interview on KRRL-FM 92.3 in Los Angeles.

They were initially going to rematch at UFC 177 last September, but Barao suffered medical issues while cutting weight and had to withdraw at the last minute
