REPORTS: Conor McGregor’s opponent Rafael dos Anjos has broken his foot ahead of UFC 196

UFC 196 is in serious jeopardy.

Lightning seems to have struck twice for Conor McGregor after reports emerged from Brazil that Rafael dos Anjos has suffered a broken foot while training for his upcoming UFC 196 lightweight title defence against The Notorious.

A Brazilian journalist, the same person that broke the news that Jose Aldo was ruled out of his original bout against McGregor, tweeted the bad news, which seems to have been confirmed by McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh in the last few moments.

Although Kavanagh’s tweet is cryptic, it seems like putting 2+2 together and getting an answer of ‘Ah s**t!’ for UFC fans.

Definitive confirmation when we get it.
