Marshmallo Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Rumour on Twitter is that Aldo has filled his pants and the title fight is off. Or a rib injury, coming a couple of weeks after the drug test fiasco... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 FFS! I'd love someone to work out what the title defense ratio has been the last few years across the divisions...lucky if some of these guys are defending their titles once a year at the moment. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Wow, just wow. Fight could easily have gone ahead months and months ago, yet here we are. McGregor will be livid beyond words. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Funnily enough Mcgregor already called this happening (sort of) in an interview in December. “If I’m being honest I can see a fight between myself and Jose being scheduled for a stadium, either Croke Park or the Aviva Stadium but then I could see Jose pulling [out],” McGregor said. “But I could see Frankie stepping in.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonNorin Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Those exam results better be good. I can't wait to see McGregor's reaction on this. We all know injuries do happen in the workd of combat sports but aren't we all tired of seeing important fights being cancelled because of some injuries? Almost 2 weeks before the huge fight and then boom, injury.. I hope as elite fighters, their camps should better prepare precationary measures to avoid fight-postponing injuries during trainings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Friend sent me the below. UFC 125: Jose Aldo scheduled to defend his belt for the first time against Josh Grispi, but he was injured in training for the fight. Rather than wait for Aldo to mend, Grispi accepted an interim fight against Dustin Poirier, where he lost, and thus lost his number one contender status. Aldo then defeated Mark Hominick at UFC 129. UFC 149: Jose Aldo scheduled to fight Erik Koch, but he was injured in training and the bout was rescheduled, only for Koch to get injured this time, and he was replaced by Frankie Edgar for UFC 153, however... UFC 153: When due to fight Frankie Edgar who was stepping in for Erik Koch, Aldo got injured again. This time the re-scheduled fight between Aldo and Edgar took place three events later at UFC 156. UFC 176: Jose Aldo scheduled for a rematch against Chad Mendes, but he got injured in training, and instead fought Mendes three events later at UFC 179 in October 2014, he hasn't fought since. UFC 189 (rumored): Scheduled to face Connor Mcgregor on July 11 2015 but suffers a rib injury in training forcing the bout to be postponed/cancelled. When it's laid out like that it's pretty fucking infuriating. Either he's made of chocolate or he's not training smart. I imagine it's the latter.

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 What he claims he actually meant was "Thanks for the American Dream". I may be jumping the gun here Yoel but I think you are a fucking roaster and I hope you get smashed off of Jacare next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayos Noun Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 He clearly said no to gay Jesus at the end. He done it in English on purpose too. He will deny it as lost in translation soon. Absolute cock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 He says "no forget Jesus" surely, no? Clearly still referencing the supreme court ruling with the "what happened to you, wake up USA" patter so therefore still a cock either way. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Who actually gives a f**k what he said? Just seemed like a load of confused mumbling to me. Anyway, he looked very impressive, completely destroyed Machida. Decent card all round. Larkin looks really good at 170, hes headin for the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Quite a lot of people give a f**k. And rightly so. Any bigotry that's put out as publicly as that needs to be shot down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Aldo's officially pulled out of the fight, so McGregor is now fighting Chad Mendes for the interim title. Shame, was looking forward to seeing Aldo kick his c**t in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Quite possibly a bigger test for McGregor. Will finally see how he stacks up against a wrestler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm still coming back to that drug test in Brazil. As soon as all that nonsense was going on there was very little chance of this fight going ahead. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
