In case you were on full Mugabe Media Lockdown on Tuesday, we have some awful news for you. Stupid Rafael dos Anjos has only gone and broken his stupid foot like a stupid person.
That means that Conor McGregor is in need of a new opponent for UFC 196, with the latest reports suggesting that he will fight at the event rather than wait for dos Anjos to return to fitness.
Those of you who have followed McGregor's UFC career will be well aware that RDA isn't the first Brazilian fighter to pull out of a fight with the Notorious on short notice. Jose Aldo infamously injured his rib 12 days out of his scheduled featherweight title fight against the Dubliner at UFC 189, which resulted in Chad Mendes stepping in to fight for the interim strap.
The fact that RDA has also withdrawn from his scheduled bout against the Dubliner is a little too much of a coincidence for former Irish international footballer, Ian Harte.

The former Leeds United man is apparently quite the fight fan and will be attending this weekend's card in London. Harte appears to be a fan of terrifying welterweight prospect Tom Breese, who we last saw knock out Cathal Pendred at UFC Dublin.
