This guy could have given us all a bit of a heads up and it would have saved us a lot of hassle.
It looks like one of Jose Aldo’s training partners, who may or may not be the Conor McGregor mimicker, is directly responsible for the champion’s apparent fractured rib.
However, there’s one guy out there who deserves at least a tiny amount of the blame.
The Reddit user posted a betting slip which shows why, for everyone’s sake, he really needs to stop betting on UFC fights.
The punter placed a 5 team parlay on Jon Jones to beat Anthony Johnson, Glover Teixeira to beat Alexander Gustafsson, Ryan Bader to beat Daniel Cormier (which is a foolish bet in its own right), Donald Cerrone to beat Khabib Nurmagomedov and that’s right, you’ve guessed it, Jose Aldo to beat Conor McGregor.
Jones was suspended from the sport for his involvement in a hit and run so never fought Rumble. Daniel Cormier pulled out of the Bader fight to step in for Jones against Johnson. Gustafsson was forced out his bout against Teixeira with an injury. Khabib, likewise against Cerrone.
So, surely he could have warned us that something was going to go terribly wrong with the Aldo v McGregor fight as well, no?
