JUST THREE WEEKS out from UFC 189, the headline fight has been thrown into doubt.
Ireland’s top MMA fighter Conor McGregor is scheduled to face Brazilian champion Jose Aldo for the featherweight world title at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand on 11 July.

However, reports this evening suggest that Aldo has picked up an injury in training, which could rule him out of the much-anticipated bout. Brazilian MMA correspondent Ana Hissa tweeted:
A source close to McGregor’s camp told The42 that the fight hasn’t yet been pulled but alternative options are being discussed at the moment.
Joseph Duffy, the last man to defeat McGregor back in 2010, is one of several fighters who has already offered to step in and fight the Dubliner instead.
Talk about dragging it out, He should move on and stop feeling sorry for himself. Sspecially in the public eye, Hes just not good enough, End of!!!
@David Mc Nally: No footballer should be getting death treats 100% agree. Now I don’t want to be called a victim blamer but there is a few red flags. Why would any footballer allow DMs on Instagram?, the lad who threatened him was about 12 and if he wants to really know what fans can be like he should go play an old firm game as Neil Lennon. I’m not condoning what happened just think there’s ways he could avoid it
Hard to feel sorry for the chap when he’s on £160k a week
@Brian O’Loughlin: he’s on £100k a week but I don’t think your bank balance makes a difference when your wife and children are being threatened over social media
Hard to see him there next season due to bad form and the death threats might just make him want to leave.
@Paul Mallon: I hope to god Klopp sees sense by then. Going by his last 2 years he’ll make him captain.
I can’t help but think if this was about a Man utd player this thread would be packed with the usual tripe.
@Kevin Buston: Ah Stop will ya there’s as many if not more united trolls on Liverpool stories than vice versa.
@Kevin Buston: abit of a stretch there Kevin.
Put your head down and the work in
That black cloud is Liverpool FC son….
Why is this inept Donkey still in the news?
The sooner Klopp moves Lovren on the better.
