The same day he said Jose Aldo is in, Dana White then said he’s out. White went on SportsCenter on Tuesday and announced that Aldo has withdrawn from his UFC 189 bout with Conor McGregor due to a rib injury. That the being the case, Plan B is now a go as McGregor will face Chad Mendes for the UFC interim featherweight title. “Andre Pederneiras, [Aldo’s] coach, called and basically said that Aldo’s rib is too painful and he will not be fighting,” White said.
