Dana says relax.
After reports emerged last night that McGregor v Aldo might be postponed after the Brazilian picked up an injury in training, UFC fans were naturally devastated.
But imagine if you had actually booked flights and accommodation to Vegas and had dropped a few months wages on the trip? Well…
There hasn’t been any official confirmation of the fight’s cancellation just yet, and UFC czar Dana White tried to calm people down on Twitter last night. People were having none of it though.
Relax everyone

It is sensible not to jump to conclusions until White makes an official statement… but sports fans generally aren’t that sensible. Hopefully this has just been a big misunderstanding because the prospect of having to endure ANOTHER three months of hype is pretty excruciating.
