I thought Aldo was losing this fight months ago, this seals the deal, im not saying the injury is fake but Aldo looks like a biitch now, his reign is over, McGregor is the man in that division. Dana Loves it because McGregor is a mouthy, crowds love him and he backs everything up
aldo by decision all day, everyday

I'd like to know exactly how Aldo cracked his rib? Did an aggressive training partner really hit him with a spinning kick? Did he hit a funny grappling angle? If one of his training partners did go heavy with a kick in sparring he should be kicked out of the gym and punished in a dark alley...
Seems Dana White has a back up plan, calm tweet reaction..Maybe there will be a fill in fighter like Frankie Edgar stepping in perhaps that's soon to be announced...
The media drama continues.. Frankie will beat McConrads arse and send him packing right back to Ireland if he gets the call up...

Frankie makes the most sense. Would be a rough night for Conor.

Still believe Mendes is more deserving. His only two losses were against Aldo. But I would still bet one either one to dethrone McGregor.

McGregor would have much tougher time with Mendes imo

Agreed, Chad Mendes is a beast... After seeing him destroy Ricardo Lamas in his last fight and going to decision with Aldo in the rematch it's apparent Mendes is one tough cookie to crack right now...
I'd also say Mendes would destroy Frankie Edgar as well and probably knock him out cold..

I have to disagree, I could see McGregor winning ITD, We have seen all the best champs lose recently, this will be the next one

It would be an absolute joke if Conor fights anyone other than Edgar or Mendes as replacements. Fukking Faber? Sit your ass-chin down dude.
It takes about a month for a mild hair line fractured rib to heal up.. I don't see how Aldo could show up to fight in just a little over 2 weeks time.. One good McConrad spinning back kick to that cracked rib and snap crackle pop.. Sharp bone fragments break off and pierce Aldo's heart.. Game over...
Fill in fighter needed for sure.... Frankie Edgar is my best guess to fill in at this point... They should put up a line for this...

Line is down on 5Dimes. What y'all think the line will be for Edgar or Mendes?

With the line being so close with Aldo the champ one would think both Mendes or Edgar would both come in as slight dogs..
I'd say -
Mendes +135 and Edgar +155 if I had to guess. I'd slam either dog hard for big money... Mendes or Edgar would probably grapple fock McIrish to death.. Mendes might just knock him out standing as well....

The will give him a striker as Connors training was for a striker. They cant afford a loss for Connor.
