Jose Aldo may not be fighting at UFC 189 on July 11, and everyone is coming down fairly hard on him for pulling out, but the champion is not going quietly. Aldo on Wednesday defended his decision to withdraw from the fight by providing the x-rays that his doctors have used to identify a fractured rib, while the UFC’s medical consultants have called it “ a bone bruise to his rib and cartilage injury .” “For three months, every day, I conducted three training sessions,” Aldo told Brazilian outlet Globo . “I invested my time and money, bringing in training partners, both in the country and outside, to make the best camp of my life and be ready to defend my belt for the eighth time on July 11.
