UFC Rio 3 lost its main star this Tuesday (11). After Quinton Rampage Jackson leave the fight program, now it was the Brazilian José Aldo which would face Frankie Edgar in the main fight of the show, he suffered an injury and is out of action. The confirmation was made by Dana White, president of the UFC, through his Twitter account.
