    Just rewatched it there on fight pass, it's great that they actually have the proper version of Conors entrance not dubbed over. The thing that stuck out to me and was hard viewing was Aldo after the fight crying and generally looked a broken man, his return will either compleatly bomb and he will retire our that could re ignite his career, I wish he wasn't mistranlasted after the fight because when I watched it live it left a sour taste in my mouth, not as bad this time around.

    He really wasn't very humble or respectful in the ring after the fight.

    But I suppose conor had got to him that bad.

    Aldo would just have to prepare to fight at 155. No belt on the line.

    Not being sarcastic but I wouldn't discount an interim title being created.
    That said; I have no memory of RDA pulling out of fights and didn't he fight Pettis with a severely busted up knee so it'll take a right bit of bad luck for him not to make it id guess.

    The only reason I would suspect RDA of possibly withdrawing is either: 1. He's Brazillian and possibly there might be a comrade-in-arms thing with Aldo, plus some serious cash in a brown envelope :) 2. It would make it a hugely dramatic night without the wearisome build up again. I mean its practically soap-opera levels of drama. Aldo gets his immediate rematch, UFC gets its huge PPV night while keeping RDA in the back-pocket for another big night. Frankie gets screwed but nothing new there :)

    Frankie and RDA have the same manager so I don't see that happening.

    Conor is gonna be too big for 145 so aldo won't be fighting him at 145 for a title. No chance.

    Conor seems to be gone very quiet lately, anything up?
