With just three days to go before the Octagon touches down for the promotion's first event of the year - fans flocked to social media with concern last night after the UFC released the second part of their episodic series, Embedded.
Donald Cerrone, who takes on former two-weight world champion, 'The Notorious' Conor McGregor in a welterweight main event, appeared at the beginning of the episode - carrying a worrying limp on his left side. With his entourage, 'Cowboy' makes his way through a Las Vegas parking lot before attending a concert - displaying a clear hitch to his step. The 36-year-old appeared at a media scrum last night, where he addressed the claims that he may have injured his foot when questioned by MMA Junkie writer, John Morgan.
"Man, I knew that was gonna come up (the question of a potential injury)," Cerrone said to reporters. "People are good. Put a little limp, what if I just walk with a little draw, or maybe I stepped on a Lego, I got a kid now. No, I'm good. I just kicked the (Thai) pad funny, it's just a funny (sic), nothing. You know."
Cerrone who seemed coy regarding the topic - is highly unlikely to remove himself from proceedings on Saturday night, given not just his nature, but the overall magnitude of the bout.
