UFC 189: Aldo vs. McGregor (July 11, 2015)

[JIBBBY]

The next 4 UFC events are literally back to back to back to back.

July 11th, 12th, 15th and 18th.

4 events inside of a week.

Then another on the 25th about a week later.

That's gonna be an overdose of MMA for sure!!!!... Mind scrambling, confusion and eventual madness could set in...

[bob6199]

Mendes is the dog, just like that, if you ran to bet Connor, the second the Aldo news broke, then bet on Mendes when he gets to be even more of a dog, you could win some nice change.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

scheduled title fight that Aldo has withdrawn from... Here's the list of the others:

UFC 125 - against Josh Grispi, would have been his first title defense after being "anointed" champion.

UFC 149 - Another undisclosed injury scrapped Aldo's planned bout with Erik Koch in July 2012 which led to teammate Renan Barao's interim bantamweight fight with Urijah Faber being moved to the main event.

UFC 153: rescheduled title fight with Erik Koch was again scrapped after Aldo damaged his foot in training.

UFC 176 - Jose Aldo pulled out of his scheduled fight with Chad Mendes after a shoulder injury late on in training meant that he couldn't compete

[bob6199]

UFC HAS to do something, to reduce training injuries, it's a joke, how many PPV's how suffered because of this?

It's clear to me that Aldo doesn't like to fight injured or even banged up.. Probably why he's been the champ for so long.. I don't buy into the "he was scared to fight him stuff"..

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

UFC 176: Aldo vs. Mendes 2 was a big fight card at the Staples center in LA, the whole card was cancelled when Aldo pulled out

[JIBBBY]

Was thinking the under round bet with Aldo but now with Mendes not sure how to play it with his potential wrassling and G/P abilities????

I can see this fight going 2 ways for prop betting -

- McFlurry by KO only and early

- Mendes by ground and pound or standing late KO.. Outside chance Mendes gets the sub if he rocks McConrad with G/P or standing strikes and then attacks the neck on the ground.. Gut feeling says Mendes would want to pound out the loud mouth on the ground with strikes if it is to go down that way.....

The o/u on this fight is not out yet anyways on 5dimes..... Just thinking and typing out thoughts for now with this match up...





lulz this move -

[Sanity Check]

@ 3:30

Dana claims Cerrone fought Makdessi with the same injury Aldo has. And that a lot of people have fought with the same injury.

I don't know if anyone fought with that injury when the belt was on the line though.

[GoBlue77]

pretty funny dana says aldo/conor fight is on in that vid and then later same day you see him in that same shirt on sportscenter saying the fight is off. you could tell dana wanted to kill aldo so bad for his decision

[JIBBBY]

Ok the official line for July 1 - Let's see where this goes in 10 days???? I'm predicting Chad Mendes will be +165 come fight time... We see?

O/U and some props are out now!!!!

Even up odds on the O/U 2.5.. Figures...

Probably goes under if I had to guess just based on the fact that McBlabber has only ventured into the 3rd round once with Max Holloway whom is a completely different fighter then Mendes.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Conor-McGregor-29688

Chad Mendes fights do go to decision alot..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Chad-Mendes-38393

[Unwritten Law]

Might not entertain the props and just play "Money Line" Mendes.

[Heyeverybody99]

Mendes by decision +450 was nice

[mirinquads]

Mendes confirms he has been short for his entire life in this phone interview. Can you really trust a manlet to win a fight?

[mirinquads]

Canner Mcgoober vs the feddaweight devesion.

[brooks85]

looks like an alien from Mac & Me

[JIBBBY]

AXStv.... or you can stream it live..

Thanks. I didn't even know if I had this channel. I checked, and YUP.

[JIBBBY]

Yeah Diggity, it's one of those channels you don't take much notice of.. Channel 340 Directv out here in So Cal...

This event cranks up at 7pm Pacific time.. I'm gonna have to record it on DVR and watch it when I get back home later tonight.. It's all good if the favorites land like one after another, first loss I crash and call it night with no action pending after that happens...

[FlipsideRM]

It's gonna keep going up, they can't put the line high enough. I'd bet McGregor all the way up to -300. Exellent balance, distance and angles he creates, he'll keep the midget on the end of his punches and knock him out early. Mendes has next to no chance, very slim punchers chance. Don't let the plus money draw y'all in...for percpective, its a similar fight to Jones/Cormier, exept mendes doesn't have the knockout power of Cormier, and McGregor is better at creating distance and using his reach then jones is. Eazzzzy money, this is a easier call then Werdum against Cain was. You'll know in the first minute of this fight, you have zero chance of winning this, if you bet chad.
