"UFC 125 - Aldo had just been named the first UFC featherweight champion after the organisation adopted the 145lb weight division but his first defence against Josh Grispi quickly became a non-event when the Brazilian withdrew from the card, citing an injury.

UFC 149 - Another undisclosed injury put the kibosh on Aldo's planned bout with Erik Koch in July 2012 which led to teammate Renan Barao's interim bantamweight fight with Urijah Faber being moved to the main event.

UFC 153 - Erik Koch would have been cursing Aldo's training partners when the rescheduled title fight was also scrapped after the Nova Uniao fighter damaged his foot in training.

UFC 176 - This event was just the second time that the UFC had to cancel an entire pay-per-view when Jose Aldo fell out of his scheduled fight with Chad Mendes after a shoulder injury late on in training meant that he couldn't compete."

I detect a pattern.....

Whoa...

I had seen a bit of hype recently, I can’t recall where it was, but basically it was UFC promoting this upcoming aldo/ mcg fight, and aldo said something along the lines of anyone who thinks they can take my belt will find out that I’m not going to let them take it.

Maybe I’m reading too much into that, but yeah, this is looking really suspicious.

Yeah, he’s injury prone. Doesn’t fight nearly enough.

He last fought in October (Mendes!) and they made this fight with McGreg at the end of Jan, so many months in advance, and he gets hurt, again.

Look at this (http://www.westernjournalism.com/ufc-president-asks-athletes-to-stop-thanking-jesus-keep-it-at-home/) Dana did not like it when Yoel thanked Jesus but no mention by the fat one when McGregor endorsed gay marriage.
