While the original belief was that Jose Aldo was going to train on Tuesday and make his decision regarding whether or not he is going to compete at UFC 189, it appears that is not going to happen — yet.
According to various sources, Aldo opted not to train today as planned, and has pushed back his training until this Friday. On Friday, Aldo is rumored to officially decide whether or not his rib injury is too much of an issue to fight with.
As noted, if Aldo does not compete as scheduled, UFC has already decided that Chad Mendes will step in and fight Conor McGregor for an interim UFC Featherweight Championship on the same date, at the same venue.
UFC 189: Aldo vs. McGregor is scheduled for Saturday, July 11, 2015 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
