Looks like UFC fans will have to wait for ‘Red Panty Night’ because lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos has pulled out of UFC 196 with a foot injury.
According to multiple sources, dos Anjos suffered a broken foot late last week, forcing him to pull out of the lightweight title fight against McGregor. The UFC is currently working on finding a replacement to fight McGregor on less than two weeks’ notice, however, nothing has been finalized at this time.
A broken foot will take a good amount of time to heal (6-8 weeks) and will most likely keep Dos Anjos out until at least UFC 200 aka New Red Panty Night.
The question is who does McGregor fight now?
