Ironically, one of the "Mr. Glass" contenders in Pettis is ready to go from the tweet i read.
as others have said, he's injured
but why not at 155 anyway .... he's held more belts there than Mcgregor
He could always become president of that union and draw a salary...
because he's on a losing streak
EDIT: and has looked terrified/cautious in those losing efforts
Good for Pettis. And I think it would be an entertaining fight.
Conor loves to play cool, but I bet he's legit shook up right now. It'd be a huge risk to his reputation to take a last minute fight and lose. He was set up for a no-lose against RDA.
Either that or they've been hurt the whole time but no one was asking.
Aldo makes no sense anyway. It would have to be a non-title LW bout.
Not many people are willing to take a fight on less than two weeks notice and for good reason. Do you think these guys who fight for a living are scared of Conor?
He did it once already against probably his toughest or 2nd toughest style matchup in his division on late notice. If he's shook, he'll probably shake it off and be ready to go.
he's busy hopping around..can't be bothered.
Even if they lose, they'll make serious money. If they win, their name will be all over the place. The only downside is that if they lose, they likely won't get another shot at him, but screw it cash in on the opportunity.

Aldo said that the only fights he wants are either a title fight or a rematch with McGregor, regardless of whether a title was on the line.
I'm not saying that he's lying about being out of shape, I'm just saying decathlon-ready Aldo would've declined this fight.
That's a given whether or not it's short notice. Diaz nuthugger seems to be implying people are afraid of Conor though, or maybe i'm just inferring that.
when his trainer tells him who the replacement opponent is he will open one eye, say "They're all the same" and go back to sleep

I really think RDA screwed himself other than just getting injured and losing the payday. The more time that goes by the more pressure and attention builds up. I think if Aldo had fought the first time the pressure just wouldn't have been there as much. Pulling out just makes the process longer.
What do you think this will do to the PPV numbers? If I recall correctly, when Aldo pulled out and Mendes was announced, the hype exploded according to all their nerdy metrics and shit. Conor may be in for an even fatter payday than expected lol

I've learned a little fear can be a healthy thing. I dunno, i thought @nick diaz nut hugger meant they were afraid of losing, rather than afraid of the person.
ufc just tweeted this out..i think it's a sneaky hint. the linked vid didn't mention anything about cerrone?
