lol wtf?

He is gonna wait until Friday to decide if he can fight 8 days later?

Yeah this seems bad...but who knows. Hope it still works out.

I hope Conor can handle Mendes' wrestling

That doesnt make sense though. Why would he want to hurt Conor by delaying pulling out of the fight? Conor is his path to the biggest payday of his career. If Conor loses to Mendes, there goes the big payday.

I actually think that this is a sign that he is going to fight. One, the only concern he should have this point is pain management and cutting weight. He wont start actually cutting weight until next week. What sucks for him is he's probably going to have to cut a ton of weight.

Two, Aldo is projected to make 4 million from this fight and i cant see him walking away from that.

If anything, I think he's is trying to keep Conor off balance by waiting this long to commit to the fight.

Yeah, especially when the rematch will be big money too if he loses.

YEP. Its a built in rematch in December either back in Vegas or in Brazil. Aldo has a built in excuse. He really cant lose. If he wins, he collects his 4 mil and is an even bigger name than before. If he loses, he gets an automatic rematch and has an excuse because of his ribs.

For what its worth, Lorenzo is very confident Aldo will show.

Apparently Aldo was supposed to attempt training today and report to UFC how it went, but he's pushed that session back to Friday now.
