Bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw has had to pull out of the main event of UFC 186 in Montreal due to injury.

The UFC says Dillashaw fractured a rib in training Monday.

The 29-year-old American was to defend his 145-pound title on April 25 in a rematch with Brazilian Renan Barao.

There was no immediate word on when Dillashaw might be able to return to action or about a possible new main event for the Montreal show.
