50-1 T/E ratio--how is that even possible? I'm sure this means he will go back to fighting cans in Russia, where he can take as much roids as he wants.

So if Aldo is out they'll immediately strip him of the belt and call it an interim title fight, right? Then they can put the pointless and meaningless "champion vs champion" tag on the Aldo McGregor fight when/if it were to be rescheduled sometime in the future.
As much of a joke as the UFC may be, there's no way they make an interim title for a broken rib. Aldo will be back in a month and defended 9 months ago, they'd sooner just reschedule this fight.
That's assuming McGregor wins.
Seems like Frankie Edgar is the frontrunner to replace Aldo right now, he'd probably wrestlefuck Conor and derail the hype train.

Aldo and the commission have too much money to lose not to make this fight happen. If Aldo is replaced, the only logical choices are either Edgar or Faber.

I'm told, if officially offered, Edgar would say yes to a fight against McGregor on 18 days notice.

That and the next time he fights the Reebok deal will have kicked in.
The event still has another title fight in a higher weight class. UFC wouldn't risk McGregor in a fight he can lose when the card can afford to miss the fight altogether. It won't do nearly as well, but they could potentially move the fight to the Brazil card and see if they can do Brock numbers using Rousey and McGregor together, or just put it in the September Las Vegas event that doesn't have any fights yet. Having McGregor on this card and losing to somebody like Edgar or Faber would be far worse than shuffling him to one of the next two pay per views. He either fights Aldo or a can of Alpo if he fights at 189. I could be wrong, but it just seems insane for UFC. I don't doubt everybody else involved would do it, I just think it's a bad idea for the promoter.

Yes, they're the logical choices - that's why it'll be Ricardo Lamas.
What about that training partner that's been impersonating Connor? That's a win/win right there.
Brandon Thatch vs Gunnar Nelson hell yeah

Oh geez, since the UFC already blew 1 million on the Aldo promo they'll just use Lamas' giraffe tattoo videos to hype the fight.

He already went hard on the champ and broke his rib so why not.
Of course he would. I'm sure Mendes is calling Dana 24/7 now.
Connor would be super dumb to take any fight.
Not going to happen
Edgar / Mendes is a nightmare matchup for McGregor. He would be smart not to take those fights. Bermudez or Stephens seems like the way to go. I'm hoping they just move the fight to 190 in Rio or 191 at MGM. Beating Aldo with a broken rib would only taint McGregor's win (if he wins) albeit the instant rematch.
Over/Under on this "fractured rib" being a form of duckery or a drug related issue? Brazilians are notorious for cheating and running from the commission. Not to mention the injury has the perfect timetable for him to go fight in Brazil.

Aldo had people deported to invalidate a drug test recently. I'm not saying anything, I'm just leaving this highly combustible material near that open flame.

Conor isn't stupid. No way he takes a fight against fucking Mendez/Edgar unless he absolutely has to. No need in jumping off the wave.

The good news for the UFC is that the co-main is a title fight so it makes sense if Aldo is injured (especially if it's a rib and can heal in another month or two) to hold Conor back and just wait it out.

Jose just wants to delay the fight until UFC 190.

Porra Caralho!
when he has other comedians its great. especially like burt kreischer/tom segura/diaz
the 1 million thing has only been said by Dana while promoting the event so...put as much stock into that one as you like.
id be surprised if it did that well, regardless of how good Connor is.

Dana's counting on every person in Ireland buying the ppv.
Anderson was routinely pulling in 350Kish buys before hitting 1.1m buys with Sonnen in their rematch. Same with Rashad Rampage. It just takes the right opponent to make it happen. I don't see it outside the realm of possibility but I see it hitting at least 650k buys.
edit
Nate Diaz put this up on twitter but was taken down after probably meaning its bullshit?

I can start with one of those when I feel like giving that sort of thing another try.
Any episode in particular stand out for you?
Between DMC4: SE and the superior PS4 version of Arkham Knight, I might be in kideo game heaven friends.
I'd sooner believe this does 1M buys than Aldo/McGregor.
While we're on the subject of UFC 190, it's a pretty stacked card:

This makes me more sad than happy, holmes.
The Nogs are walking deads by now (Rogerio was expected to be a superfight champion).
Silva? Giant Silva wannabe. I mean Ronda has become our champions because the masses love a beautiful champion that can actually talk.
Its all they had to do...fight and talk...its either one for most guys. So sad.
And our baby boy Shogun...oh Shogun, baby, why did you fight Jon? It all happened there!
