We’ve got a funny feeling we’ve been here before.
There was a real sense of déjà vu as word started to filter through from Brazil that Rafael dos Anjos had broken his foot and would be pulling out of his fight with Conor McGregor at UFC 196.
It was all far too similar to Jose Aldo’s withdrawal from UFC 189 back in July and was replaced by Chad Mendes
McGregor eventually beat Aldo in 13 seconds at UFC 194 in Las Vegas in December.
Rumours of Dos Anjos’ withdrawal left many people wondering what it is with Brazilians and why they keep ruining plans for potentially epic fights with McGregor.
Apparently Dos Anjos broke his foot? They must fight moving buses in training in Brazil

Ah for fuck sake! #DosAnjos looks like he is out of #UFC196

The Dos Anjos injury screws a lot of things up. Win or lose McGregor would have been most likely able to fight at 200 in July. Now what?
