Aldo out of 176

[Mr. IWS]

The injury bug has bitten Jose Aldo once again.


According to a report on UFC Tonight, the featherweight has pulled out of his UFC 176 title defense against Chad Mendes due to an undisclosed ailment. A new main event for the Aug. 2 card has yet to be announced. UFC 176 takes place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and includes a middleweight co-feature between Gegard Mousai and Ronaldo Souza.


Aldo, 27, last competed at UFC 169 in February, when he took a five-round decision over Ricardo Lamas. The Nova Uniao standout first faced Mendes at UFC 142, winning via knockout 4:59 into the opening round.


Mendes has won five straight fights since that setback, including triumphs over Darren Elkins, Clay Guida and Nik Lentz.

Wonder who will be the main event now?

[Mr. IWS]

too quick a turnaround for Cubby?

[Luke]

Heard they were bringing Ken Shamrock back for the main event. He said he'd sign for a taco bell big box and a 7-eleven Slurpee

Chael/Wandy is new main event

People talking of Rousey-Zigano headlining the card if Rousey doesn't take damage today

Did that qualify as no damage? Although Her fist may have taken a little bit.

Yeah, that would have qualified had it not been for the stitches to the hand
