No he's never pulled out of a fight. Even when he blew his knee against Holloway he finished the fight, but there are two belts being held up because of one injury. They already ruled out aldo, faber, edgar as replacements. I don't know why they have been ruled out my guess is McGreggor making weight at 145. It would be nice if they just put in one of the top lightweights in rda's place. Tony Ferguson, Nate Diaz, Alvarez, or Pettis would be good fights. Funny thing is RDA broke his foot Friday, wonder why it took this long to come out.

Ferguson, Diaz, Alvarez or Cowboy would be decent choices imo, I think Pettis is already scheduled for a fight in April and he's out of camp. Cerrone just fought so he's in shape, but he'd have to lose the weight which is asking a lot 11 days out
Cerrone was already on twitter saying he would fight McGreggor. I think its bad matchup for cowboy unless he could take it to the ground. I'm curious to see how they handle this, do they wait for RDA or have McGreggor defend the 145 belt. It seems like every other title fight is cancelled or changed do to injury. I hope this doesn't happen for UFC 197

That is a very good point and one that I never really considered. Even if cmac is always ready, an opponent pulling out can log jam multiple divisions.

Fml . Broken foot? My god, that sucks ass bro.
I think its a little fucked up that the UFC keeps hyping McGregor as the first (if he wins) the first guy to hold a belt in two weight classes at the same time when he's the only one who's ever been allowed to do it. It's gotta bug the shit outta guys like couture, penn, and edgar.
What do you guys think about Diego sanchez vs. Mcgegor?
Never mind they have a replacement, its nate diaz

Mcgregor is in for a battle now. The RDA fight woulda been tough but CMAC woulda dominated the fight standing. Diaz is long and tough. This may be the most fan friendly fight ever booked. Diaz is HUGE at 155. Connor is a brave man. I can't wait to watch this.

@Corso312 .......DTD: "“We called Jose Aldo, Jose Aldo turned the fight down,” White said. “We called Frankie Edgar, Frankie Edgar turned the fight down. We called ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone, (and he) absolutely accepted the fight – would love to take the fight. B.J. Penn said he wanted the fight. A lot of guys wanted this fight, but we ended up with Nate Diaz. We felt this was the fight to make and the fight the fans wanted to see.”
Due to the lack of time for a proper weight cut for Diaz, the bout will be contested at the 170 pound welterweight limit.

This is motherfucking nuts! I am hyped, I can't wait!!
If he wins, I guarantee it's McGregor v. Lawler at UFC 200 for the WW title! Then when RDA's foot heals, he'll be comin' for that strap as well! 3 division champ before 2017, WTF!?

normally i dont root for diaz brothers. but i hope n. diaz knocks his azz out...
tired of mcgregor bumping his gums.... he barely won the chad mendes fight... i really believe that fight was rigged...
the fight vs jose aldo was a fluke... reminded me when hasim rahman knockout lennox lewis...
rematch lennox beat that azz...
mcgregor vs r. lawler?
LOL mr. lawler takes that as an insult...
not even a close match... or a punchers chance like hasim rahman...

cant believe diaz is even getting a shot... what has diaz done lately but lose..
diaz got embarrassed by dos anjos... not even a fair match...
did you watch that fight? dos anjos over powered him EASILY!!!! like a older brother beating on his little brother...
so HELL NO... butt...... i would like to see lawler beat that ass down, just for the fun of it...
lawler can definitely take a punch... can mcgregor take a punch??? i seriously doubt it....
ill laugh me ass off so hard if mcgregor gets knocked out by little diaz..
EDIT: conner mcgregor is NOT in the same category with robbie lawler... not even close....
what would happen if diaz won the fight? does he fight lawler? LOL

Diaz took the fight on short notice, most guys don't have the balls to do that. I am no fan of the Diaz boys but I respect his confidence.. Sounds like Cerrone n Diaz were the only guys who stepped up on short notice..the rest of these guys took a pass.
I see Ferguson has a fight in April, so they didn't ask him but he'd take this fight too.. Watch out for Tony, he will have a belt in by 2017.

dos anjos leg kicked his way to victory against diaz. diaz is fresh off serving an ass woopin to michael johnson. i think mcgregor is in for a war. especially at 170.
