5. Raphael Assuncao Breaks Ankle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjj9mr6O0Fo Literally an hour after Dominick Cruz announced his ACL tear, Raphael Assuncao announced he had broken his ankle in training. Assuncao was a safe bet for a title shot at some point in 2015, and with Cruz out, it might have come sooner rather than later. Assuncao has actually defeated T.J. Dillashaw once before, so this fight could have set up a trilogy. Instead, it will have to wait, and fighters around the UFC are probably crossing their fingers hoping to avoid being the third case of bad luck this week.
