Aldo Injured UFC 189 in Jeopardy

We are just over two weeks away from one of the most anticipated fights in the UFC but MMA fans might have to wait longer than that to see Jose Aldo face Connor McGregor for the UFC Featherweight Championship.

According to reports, Jose Aldo may have fractured his ribs during training. There is no word from the UFC on whether Aldo is officially out of the main event, but with an injury of that nature they might just be scrambling to find a replacement before an official announcement.

Why Alister Overeem should consider fighting Junior Dos Santos

The UFC heavyweight division has had no shortage of stars. When you can put a guy to sleep with a single punch, there's no denying fight fans will want to see you do it again and again. Junior Dos Santos and Alister Overeem are two of those guys. The question is: why haven't these two guys crossed paths? Junior Dos Santos used an overhand right to become the UFC's heavyweight champ during the first UFC on Fox. After a defense of his title to Frank Mir he would go on to have two more fights with Cain Velasquez.  A total of 50 minutes of fighting at UFC 155 & 166 proved that while not the champion, Junior Dos Santos would be standing in the way of anyone trying to become UFC heavyweight champion.  His last fight took place at UFC fight night in Phoenix, AZ with Stipe Mioci c .

It will be the last fight of the year, the return of Ronda Rousey, and the first time Amanda Nunes defends her Bantamweight title. That should be reason enough to watch UFC 207, but what if it's also the last time Rousey takes a walk to the octagon? Amanda Nunes has a chance to prove that it is in fact "her time" to reign as Bantamweight Champion. With very little film on how to defeat Rousey she will have to study the UFC 193 tape, lucky for her it is all she will need. Holly Holm showed the world how to avoid the arm-bar, all she did was... avoid the arm-bar. But how did she do it? Its simple, she did not allow Rousey to tie her up in a clinch. She kept her distance and hit Rousey harder than she's ever been hit. Rosuey is not able to take many punches and is quick to go for muay thai clinch, right into her Judo, and into the arm-bar. That's what Nunes' needs to avoid. Rousey will do what she is so used to doing, she will charge at Nunes and try to
