Dana White stares straight into the camera and swears on a stack of bibles its Aldo v. Mcgregor and he yammers on about how Cowboy Cerrone fought with the same injury and absorbed rib shots and won.
Aldo was the only champ (out of 10 champs ) not at the Reebock unveiling... they were trying to keep Aldo out of the USA as long as possible so that no one could see his ribs

The difference between Donald Cerrone and Jose Aldo is that Cerrone isn't a huge pussy.

I really believe a part of this is Aldo being scared.. What a shame we now have to watch Chad Mendes get beaten to a pulp
That is like the absolute best case scenario. Everyone was pumped for Aldo/McGregor...but imagine Aldo/McGregor without the questions of "oooh but is conor actually for real? never faced a wrestler blah blah blah." And then you toss in an extra belt. I would actually be willing to wait for that if I thought it was a foregone conclusion that McGregor beats Mendes, instead I really have a feeling that we are about to get Mendes/Aldo 3.
I don't know Aldo's condition, but I can comment on my own. I have a bruised rib right now (suffered Sunday making a tackle) and I can't even breath properly until I've taken some pain medication in the morning. It's preventing me from doing almost any kind of working out. Rib (and most core) injuries really suck! (That said, I'm going to try get some prescription meds so I can play football on Saturday - I managed a whole half when I got injured before not being able to continue. If I can manage the pain and breath I'll play!)
Getting injured mid fight vs going in with an injury cannot be compared. Pre-fight injuries have an affect on your ability to train and mess with your mentality. (You subconsciously start protecting an injured area which could open up other areas.) Also a fighter's injury becoming public it just becomes a HUGE bull's eye for his opponent.

If you are not diagnosing the guy personally you don't have a clue the severity of his injury.
Aldo may or may not be ducking Mcgregor. We have insufficient information to assess this.
at the championship level, ducking isn't an option

You think Aldo is a pussy?
Yes.
That's such an idiotic statement that I don't even know if I should attempt to explain to you how much better it would have been for him to fight.
Conor on Conan was great. That is some serious, A level exposure for him. It's crazy how he's basically on the marketing level of Ronda Rousey right now, at least with how the UFC is treating him, and he's not even a champion. Mendes is probably about to ruin a lot of Dana's nights.
