    Part of me wants to say he'll pull out. That's not a great injury to fight with and its going to bugger his last few weeks of camp.

    The other part of me knows this is one of the UFC's biggest pay days in a long time and they're going to make Aldo feel all kinds of pressure to keep going.

    Well, that's one way to wipe the smirk of McGregor's face.

    The one thing I've noticed is that even though the ufc is never going to tap Mendes or Edgar to hop in the ring with Mcgregor on two weeks notice, the main reason everyone knows they won't do it is because most people are pretty sure they'd beat the tar out of him.

    Doesn't mean Mendes and Edgar wont scream bloody murder if the fight is called off and the UFC don't offer either of them a fight on ridiculously short notice.

    I'd sooner see Edgar fight McGregor than Aldo anyway.

    McGregor is in aldos head, its in aldos own self interest to have a break from all of the pressure and only fight if he's physically 100%, I'm sure if they have a replacement match, all fighters will be keen to grab the exposure and money that comes with a McGregor fight. Win or lose everyone will be watching!

    The bit about also crying seemed strange too.

    So maybe, maybe it is gamemamship!

    Never mind Aldo, if this fight gets set back I think I might cry...

    I don't know. While the level of hype behind Conor is monolithic in stature, that shouldn't mask the fact that he has been looking superb in his fights. He has a very solid chance of winning. I'm not writing Jose out of it though... Which is why I'm exited to see the fight.

    This also crossed my mind.

    hes look good fighting weaker stand up fighters

    He has fought 1 top ten guy Poirer, and looked good against a barely top ten guy who hasn’t knocked anyone out since 2009 or got a submission since 2010 any who hasn’t finished anyone since moving to featherweight
    The UFC seem to have fed him stand up guys not known for their power or knock out skill WHO are also without any noted wrestling abilities

    Not saying he cant win, but the hype for a guy who hasn't fought a top 5 guy is huge,

    Fair points. He is also yet to face a solid wrestler. I agree that hype is disproportionate also. Conor appears savy at packaging himself and playing the game and is very marketable so its no surprise I guess.

    Time will tell. I can't wait to watch it.

    What about vs Chad mendes the alternative?

    He's a good wrestler, how do you feel that match could play out?
