Breaking News for UFC Aldo injury jeopardizes UFC 125 bout

UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo's Jan. 1 title defense in Las Vegas is in jeopardy due to a compacted vertebrae, ESPN.com confirmed with the fighter's management Tuesday.



Set to make his UFC debut after an impressive run as the WEC's 145-pound champion, Aldo, who was awarded his UFC belt Saturday prior to UFC 123 in Auburn Hills, Mich., experienced tingling in both arms while training in Brazil, said Aldo's representative Jorge Guimaraes.



"He's heartbroken," Guimaraes said of the 24-year-old mixed martial artist, whose 18-1 record lands him near the top of most pound-for-pound lists. "But he said he doesn't care about the injury and he'll fight."



At the behest of his trainer, Andre "Dede" Pederneiras, Aldo underwent an MRI after it was clear the fighter was operating at less than full strength in the gym. Doctors recommended that Aldo take a month off from training to focus on physical therapy.



The vertabrae is "compacting the spine, and they noticed he lost a lot of strength in the right arm," Guimaraes said.



Heavy.com first reported Aldo would not compete at UFC 125 against 22-year-old challenger Josh Grispi (14-1), which features a lightweight championship in the main event between titleholder Frankie Edgar and challenger Gray Maynard.

    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
