yall taking the Dana bait. It was a cracked rib - photos posted of it today. Dana started the bruised rib rumor. you guys understand that training for a fight is actually really fucking dangerous, right? injuries happen, they're not pillow fighting in the gym. try fight anyone with a cracked rib and tell me how you feel. Aldo did the right thing by pulling out. getting stripped is also a complete joke.

as for the fight, I think Aldo beats McGregor, Mendes is interesting though. He's a plus athlete and has some of the best takedowns in the sport, and we haven't seen McGregor tested much in the clinch or on the ground. Threat of the TD will also likely curb his kickboxing a bit. No question McGregor has the striking advantage, but Mendes has solid defense, good hand speed and lots of power, def not a slouch on the feet. I'm pulling for McGregor to win cuz I still want to see McGregor-Aldo, but wouldn't be shocked to see Mendes grind it out.
