- Dana White also continued to put forth the notion that UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo doesn't have a broken rib. White commented on the matter at the UFC Fan Expo on Friday.

"So what happened was, when the pictures went out onto the internet, right, and you saw this rib down here, that was an old injury. That was an old injury that was calcified white. The real injury was the bruised rib and cartilage. He had a bruised rib and cartilage. And the big problem for Aldo in taking the fight, wasn't the fight. It was making weight," White said, noting that Jose Aldo would have had to cut 24 pounds with the injury.

- The UFC 189 weigh ins are in the books, and the big event is a go for tomorrow night. Wrestling Inc will have full, live coverage of the event, starting with quick results of the prelims tomorrow at 7 pm. You can see the full weigh-in results below:
