Prediction: McGregor  |  Decision

I'll be shocked if they toss Edgar or Mendes onto 189.

I'm told, as of right now, Chad Mendes hasn't been offered a fight at UFC 189.

McGregor won't fight anybody else but Aldo.

every time something like this happens my initial reaction is to get pissed but the I think of Dana White and can't help but laugh.

on a side note I think it would be stupid for Aldo to fight if he has an injured rib

"he is going to the hospital, and im going to the after party, ha ha ha" Nate Diaz

 "I'm probably one of the few who doesn't care all that much.  If Aldo-McGregor happens for 189, cool.  It's a fight I'd like to see.  If it doesn't, that's a pretty minor disappointment for me.  I'm still going and I still plan on enjoying the events."

@psychicdeath, props to you then, you are handling it better than I am and out of everyone here you have the most right to be upset.



In all honesty, having Lawler/Rory as the headliner is still a good main event.

This may be a ploy to trick McNugget into going for more body shots.

Yeah @buffalo, but Sonnen didn't know it before the fight.
Things are different in this case.

Twitter is buzzing about Edgar/McGregor for an interim title.  

If that happens, what a slap in the face to Aldo.  

Does this seem likely at all?

The one fight I didn't want to get ****** over and it probably just did.

Well at least Edgar vs McGregor is easier to pick.

Prediction: Aldo  |  Decision

Edgar makes the most sense as he has only lost to Also once and not twice like Mendes. That is important as either guy will beat McGregor.
However, if they give someone easier to Mcgregor, then he could win and then there is a unification match on Super Bowl weekend.

Prediction: McGregor  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 4

Interim title would be a joke. Aldo has defended his title inside the calendar year and won't be out for long. You spent millions of dollars on promotion? Tough cookies, either wait out Aldo's injury or have Conor fight that wrestler everyone's been crying about. Frankie, Mendes, whoever, he beats them both.

Prediction: McGregor  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 2

God, this is depressing. MMA is pretty much the only sport where you can go to sleep with everything fine, then wake up and have one of the biggest events of the year possibly dead in the water. It's like being a baseball fan and waking up to the news that game 7 of the world series won't take place this year. The UFC will lean haaard on Aldo to fight, probably ensuring him an immediate rematch should he lose (if that's not already a thing) This fight has probably had the most hype pumped into it than any I can remember. Anderson vs. Chael rematch is the only thing that's close off the top of my head. McGregor won't fight anyone other than Aldo if he's smart. The UFC has banked on this fight going off so heavily that they've pretty much ignored the Lawler and Rory rematch for the title. If Aldo can't fight it's going to suck balls for the fans, but it would be hilarious to see the UFC lose such a huge fight so quick into their deal with Reebok. That's literally the only half positive I can force myself to acknowledge should this fight not happen.

Reports coming in that Aldo is out of the fight at 189 and will be sidelined until October.

Prediction: McGregor  |  Decision

Mendes announced on Twitter he's currently in Vegas. 

Again, I'd be shocked if they risk McGregor against one of the two dynamo wrestlers of the division on 2 weeks notice.
