T.J. Dillashaw Injured, Out Of UFC 186 Main Event Against Renan Barao

T.J. Dillashaw, who was scheduled to defend his UFC Bantamweight Championship against former champion and the man he won the title from, Renan Barao, is out of the fight.

Dillashaw suffered a rib injury while training for the bout, which was scheduled to take place on April 25th in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

As things stand now, there has been no official announcement made as to whether or not Barao will remain on the card and fight a replacement opponent, or if the Dillashaw-Barao bout will be rescheduled for a later date.

Although nothing is confirmed at this point, the belief is that the Demetrious Johnson vs. Kyoji Horiguchi UFC Flyweight Championship bout will move into the main event position on the show.

UFC 186 is scheduled for Saturday, April 25th at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
