Arloski should get that fight. Hes on a 3 fight win streak including possibly the FOTY. And they need to hurry up and just announce Aldo/McGregor is off.

n light of recent reports regarding the status of UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo, UFC has received official medical confirmation from several doctors that Aldo did not suffer a broken rib. Following a review of the scans, it has been determined that the champion suffered a bone bruise to his rib and cartilage injury during training.

With this news, Aldo has expressed that he has every intention of facing Conor McGregor at UFC 189.

While Aldo has indicated that he will compete in Las Vegas on July 11, UFC has confirmed a contingency plan. No.1 featherweight contender Chad Mendes will face McGregor for the interim UFC featherweight championship in the event Aldo cannot compete.

UFC remains committed to delivering the featherweight and the welterweight championship fights at UFC 189 during UFC International Fight Week in Las Vegas.

Exactly. Too much money and marketing has gone into this. They were filming vlogs on that tour that happened 3 months ago. And Connor is their biggest star behind Ronda. No way they are risking his star against the likes of Edgar or Mendes. If Aldo still beats this dude with an obvious injury, he will be God status
