Brian Ortega: UFC has a replacement fighter for Max Holloway at UFC 231

[Killashaw]

Could it be Aldo? Moicano? ZABEAST (lol no)

I really want to know who the replacement could be.

 

[Trifick]

Probably Aldo. Frankie if he beats KZ.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Aldo vs Ortega would be amazing. Doubt it though with all the talk of moving up.

 

[Gambit MMA]

aldo is going to 155 but maybe hes standing by at 145 incase max pulls out. if max fights we'll see aldo booked at 155 early next year

 

[Venom]

Holloway, Aldo, and possibly Ortega are all thinking about moving to 155 in the near future IIRC.

They weigh just as much as McGregor, for the record.

 

[HoFF]

Good stuff

If Max misses weight or is hospitalized again he should be forced to move up to 55.

1 Brian Ortega

2 Jose Aldo

3 Frankie Edgar

4 Renato Moicano

5 Chad Mendes

Gotta be either Aldo, Edgar, Moicano or Mendes I would think.

 

[ScarfaceJr]

isn't Moicano/Mendes on the card as well?

 

[Spycho]

The UFC being the UFC it' ll be someone they want to push down our throats. And someone from another weight class. Cody Garbrandt or some strange shit.

3 Frankie Edgar

Already booked it seems

They really need to do Moicano vs Aldo, winner of that gets a title shot.

Moicano is facing Mendes. Aldo can't be in a title eliminator while Max is champ.

Great looking hair, no homo.

I imagine the UFC would be willing to shuffle that around, but I could be wrong.

 

[VinceArch]

Assuming Frankie wins against KZ hopefully it is him. As an Edgar fan I want him to get that rematch ASAP. I do think he can beat Ortega.

Is there a different replacement if ORTEGA doesn't make weight, gets injured tripping over a cable, gets phantom glass in his eye, or finds some other reason to not get the beating of his LIFE from Mad Max? #ITISWHATITIS

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Moicano/Mendes is on the same card for reason

In my mind, it should be Frankie.
Love Aldo, but he does NOT deserve to get a title shot after losing twice against Max.
Yes, Max is not Ortega, but the point is the belt. He just had an undeserving title shot. No need for another.

 

[Vatenkeist]

Moicano is facing Mendes..

Where?
