It's official: Aldo is out, Mendes is in.
And I'm sticking with Conor to win.

Glad all of that crap was for nothing.

Should've been Edgar. Not shocked at all though, hard to look forward to Aldo fights.

If it had been Frankie instead of Mendes(as it really should have been) my opinion likely would have been different. Frankie's style hampers even the very best. Mendes is definitely beatable for Conor, though.

Mendes is definitely beatable for Conor, though. I agree. I think Mendes is the 'easiest' match-up of the three, with Frankie probably being the toughest stylistically.

So Frankie Edgar complains that he's not the number one contender for the featherweight title and he's finally promoted to the place he wanted... and the title shot goes to the guy behind him on the pecking order. Sure, Frankie's fights end up in decisions more often than not but he still puts up good fights against high caliber opponents. It must suck to be him right now.

In pretty f***ing cool news, Sinead O' Connor is going to sing 'Foggy Dew' live for Conor McGregor's entrance at UFC 189.
No word on if she'll tear up a photo of Chad Mendes afterwards.

Daniel Cormier fulfilling his duty as UFC Champ by getting injured before a fight. 191 bout with Gus is delayed.

Gilbert Melendez has tested positive for PEDs and has been suspended for a year. Obviously his fight with Iaquinta on the 15th is off. Just bring in Giblert

Anyone know what's going on with 191. Only one fight announced so far. I've heard speculation UFC may be waiting until after 191 to announce more fights in case anyone from 189 can do a quick turnaround.
Cormier getting injured really jammed that one up. I'm thinking it's going to be another Mighty Mouse main event.
There are a bunch of good HW fights possible. I'm hoping just one get put on that card.

Thinking of what they can do as far as title fights:
Fabricio Werdum: Probably needs rest after 188 Chris Weidman: Likely holding off until year's end Rafael Dos Anjos: Likely out til December, maybe Main Event for December's FOX event against Cerrone? Mightymouse: Likely, but they're gonna need to stack the card behind him big time. Joanna Champion: Out from hand surgery
