Say it ain’t so, coach.
Without any official word confirming the worst – that Rafael Dos Anjos has in fact broken his foot – we will have to go with the next best-placed source.
Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh has pretty put a nail in the UFC 196 main event’s coffin without typing a single word.
The saddest of all sad emoticons.

Of course Kavanagh and McGregor have experience of losing a high-profile Brazilian opponent weeks out from a title fight following Jose Aldo’s late withdrawal from UFC 189.
To lose one title fight opponent is unlucky, to lose two really is 🙁
