Nate Diaz claiming he is filling in to fight McGregor.

"I'm fighting Conor McGregor @ufc 189 replacement everybody else was broken or on steroids."

Well I look forward to the shit talking from both of them if that is true. That'll be better than the fight itself.

Nate was just fucking around, he deleted that tweet pretty quickly.

Word is the MGM has taken down all 189 promotional stuff.

Mendes is in Vegas with Carmouche filming something, people thought he was gonna step in before they realized that's why he was there.

Frankie is still the popular choice, and probably the best one if someone has to step up.

Yeah, Nate is an odd fill in. Conor weighs in at 145 and Nate couldn't even get below 160 for his last fight.

The whole situation fucking sucks.

I am just wondering how much the UFC payed the doctor and Aldo for that answer. Sure, rib is 'fine', but gets 're-injured' during the fight. Aldo loses and gets an immediate rematch, $$$. That is my conspiracy theory for today.

I cannot imagine going into the fight of my life with a broken or injured rib. The pain can be incredible. I guess you just cortisone it up and hope for the best.

I would assume that violates the drug policy. Aldo will have to gut it out.

Aldo was not going to do 1m buys, I know that much. I would guess 450k and thats being very generous

Aldo might not have pushed for that kind of draw, but the King of Ireland can. It is his island after all.

Not entirely certain, but I believe as far as they let the commission know they can have a cortisone shot on fight night.

You're crazy if you think it's only gonna do 450k at the most. 1m is an extremely generous estimate, though not entirely out of the realm of possibility, but 550k an easily attainable target.

That said, holy shit his normal buy rates are ungodly low. Embarrassingly so.

That's because not only is his personality boring, his recent fights have been too. Six decisions in nine matches, GTFO Aldo. Can't wait for Conor to take over.

Can't wait for Conor to lose a boring decision you mean? Let's not forget that McGregor is a nobody who has beaten a bunch of nobodies, and the only reason he's getting a title shot is because the UFC fast tracked him for lack of anybody else to fight Aldo.

Conor is just going to spam spinning back kicks until he hits the same rib. Fight over.
