The UFC’s new featherweight champion will have to wait a little bit longer to make his first defense of the belt.
The WEC’s final 145-pound champ, Jose Aldo, who officially was awarded his new UFC title prior to this past Saturday’s UFC
123 event, has suffered an undisclosed injury in training and has been
forced to withdraw from a scheduled bout with top contender Josh Grispi.
The two had been expected to meet in the co-main event of “UFC 125:
Resolution,” which takes place Jan. 1 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in
Las Vegas.
