If Aldo’s out, an all Irish main event at UFC 189 wouldn’t be the worst alternative.
Every MMA fan around the globe has sunk into the despair after reports have circulated that Jose Aldo is injured and may not be able to fight at UFC 189.
If Aldo has indeed injured his rib, Conor McGregor will almost certainly have to wait a little longer to get his chance at becoming the first ever Irish UFC champion.
However, Donegal native Joseph Duffy has given the UFC something to ponder in the worst case scenario.
If Jose is out I'm willing to step in and beat @TheNotoriousMMA again!! @ufc @danawhite

Duffy submitted McGregor with a sublime arm-triangle just 38-seconds into their bout in the European promotion Cage Warriors. He was the last ever fighter to defeat McGregor inside the cage, which is something the Notorious would almost certainly like to rectify considering his meteoric rise to UFC stardom since the loss.
An all-Irish main event on one of the biggest cards of the year? We could do a lot worse.
