Official: Jose Aldo vs. Anthony Pettis on PPV in August

[EmpireWF]

Confirmed this morning.

Pettis didn't want to wait around for the shot at 155, so he contacted the UFC and said he'll drop to 145 for the first time and go after Aldo.

Nice.

Elite MMA striking battle

Pettis wins this, poor Aldo, everyone from 155 is coming down, if Gil talked about it is Diaz beat Benson

145 is the new 155

Aldo is refusing the fight as of right now, Dana White is NOT HAPPY

[EmpireWF]

He said Aldo's rep was telling him Pettis doesn't deserve the shot.

lol

Will all MMA fans finally realize the GP/Tournament format is far superior than "matchmaking"?

How stupid is it when promoters/fighters/management/fans/ratings have to determine who gets a title fight?

UFC = The BCS

[EmpireWF]

They settled whatever the beef was. Pettis gets the shot for the 145 belt.

BUT...if Aldo wins, he'll get next crack at the 155 belt, either Bendo or Gil.

I see the theory.. Aldo thinks if Pettis can move down and immediately receive a shot, why cant he move up and do the same?

Strange because Dana has said he never wants a 2 division champ, does Aldo have to give up the title?
