Jose Aldo To Defend Featherweight Title Against Josh Grispi at UFC 125

Jose Aldo now has an opponent for his defense of the newly-renamed UFC featherweight title at UFC 125 on New Years Day in Las Vegas, according to Ariel Helwani at Versus.com:
It didn't take long for the UFC to start working on getting Jose Aldo his first opponent as an official member of the organization.
Versus.com has learned that the UFC is targeting a featherweight title fight between Aldo and top contender Josh Grispi. Contracts have been sent out to both camps.
Grispi was scheduled to fight at WEC 52 on Nov. 11, but if the fight goes through, he will of course be pulled from the card to compete against Aldo for the title.
The bout would serve as the co-main event of the evening behind the lightweight title fight between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard.
Helwani also confirmed that Roy Nelson has been pulled from the card, as no suitable replacement for Shane Carwin would be available. Look for Nelson to be added to a card later in January or February.
The card as it stands now:
- Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard (UFC lightweight championship)
- Jose Aldo vs. Josh Grispi (UFC featherweight championship)
- Clay Guida vs. Takanori Gomi
- Chris Leben vs. Brian Stann
- Nate Diaz vs. Dong-Hyun Kim
- Brandon Vera vs. Thiago Silva
- Cole Miller vs. Matt Wiman
- Antonio McKee vs. Jacob Volkmann
- Phil Baroni vs. Brad Tavares

For real
We’ve gotten some crap (UFC 119) but we’ve had so many great memorable cards this year. UFC 108, UFC 110 (screw the haters, it was exciting top to bottom IMO), UFC on Versus 1 and 2, Florian vs Gomi, Mardquart vs Palhares, UFC 115 through UFC 117 (one of the greatest grouping of cards ever). I was actually disappointed in 121 (a good card) because 116 was just awesome.
And that’s not including Season 2 of Bellator (Season 3 has sucked pretty much IMO) or the WEC as a whole.

Can't wait to see the new poster with Aldo and Grispi on it.
"Last time a Russian hit a brother that hard, Ivan Drago killed Apollo Creed"- Some guy on Sherdog, referencing Fedor vs Rogers
ahh yes
So so so glad they did this merger, now Jose Aldo is going to be recognized a lot more easily now by not so hardcore fans.. this… well this is a good thing for the sport of MMA
sits back with a cigar and glass of whiskey
ahhh yess…
sweet
good fight, i dont think grispi has the seasoning or wrestling to beat aldo though
the only way you can beat this guy at 145 is to get him on his back, ur not gonna win a striking battle

We're not even sure about that though
he may have some insane skills on his back but we have never had the chance to see it.
the way he jumped in and took mike browns back
made me think u wouldnt wanna mess with him there either. but id still rather do that then try to strike with him
"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
Thats true
I’d rather get choked out than getting knocked out or getting my legs destroyed. I heard somewhere that Aldo was a legitimate BJJ contender before he got into mma though.
hes a monster
good luck everybody who gets to fight him, i see his title reign being long and vicious

After seeing what he did to Faber and MTB on the ground I wouldn't doubt it

Aldo was a very, very high level BJJ player by 18
He was a prodigy in the truest sense of the word. He is reputed to train wrestling heavily as well, if that is the case – if he can stop the takedowns – idk who could realistically beat him.
GSP, Aldo, Jones and perhaps Cain personify the true mixed martial artist, and are as close to unbeatable as is possible…

I wonder how much of that “Aldo is a great BJJ player” is true though. After he got side mounted, mounted, taken his back and RNC’d by Azevedo, I’ve heard that he was still green on the ground and that was the reason of his defeat (this talk was before he destroyed MTB).

Siiick card!
You know Aldo is going to crazy in his first fight in the UFC.
Where does Vera/Silva sit in this lineup? Free on Spike or part of the main?
Slow Cooking! MMM-MMM GOOD!
"I Wanna Thank Joe Rogan!" - BJ Penn
would be a great spike prelim
"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
Bout order hasn't been confirmed
yet. I’m thinking we’ll see Spike prelims for this one, and if so, I’d be it would be Vera-Silva, Wiman-Miller with Diaz-Kim on the main card, or with Vera-Silva and Diaz-Kim swapped.
I think that Leben-Stann might be pushed down to the Spike prelim
Stann isn’t main card worthy and it kind of makes sense after the whole DUI thing.
Not sure
There hasn’t been an update about the whole situation I think. I know he’s supposed to go to court soon for sentencing, I guess that’s when we’ll find out.
As long as the court doesn't have an issue with Leben fighting,
Dana’s certainly not going to. He has a pretty strong track record of not punishing fighters for their personal indiscretions outside of the Octagon (i.e. Josh Neer’s little joy-ride, Leben’s previous offenses, Guillard’s drug charges, Anthony Johnson’s domestic violence charges).
And if Leben is legally cleared, he’s guaranteed to be on the main card given his last two performances.
i'm pretty sure the court is going to have an issue
He’s already been to jail for a similar thing, and he was driving drunk with no license and no insurance. Chris is going away for quite a while.
Will I ever get to where I'm going?
If I do, will I know when I'm there?

Leban/Stann and Kim/Diaz would be an excellent Spike opener for the PPV. Probably get more buys

This card is officially a hardcore fan's wet dream
I don’t know how many PPVs it will sell, I mean the biggest draw might be Clay Guida, but it is definitely a great card from my point of view.

Practically every fight has a very well-known fighter.
What about this specifically appeals to “hardcore fans?”

I could be wrong
I mean I don’t know everything about the business side, but the headliner is Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard, who aren’t exactly poorly known so much as nearly universally loathed. The co-main will be UFC debuts for two great fighters in a division a large portion of the fan base probably didn’t even know existed. Everybody loves Clay Guida, but I don’t know how much of Gomi’s Pride run and Japanese fame has translated to the North American Market. Leben is obviously a star, but I don’t know how he, Diaz, and Guida are going to be able to carry a card. Vera and Silva look like they are on the undercard, so that doesn’t really mean much.
The word hardcore may be annoying and not necessarily descriptive, but I thought my point held water.

From your mouth to Joe Silva’s ears. Would like to see Mir/Nelson then let that winner face Brock. And hopefully Nelson can just finish the idea that Mir is still a top heavyweight.
i think he still is
his skillset is so diverse, he hasnt utilized his ground game recently
in the next 2-3 years though hes gonna drop off, the motorcycle injuries were way too severe to let him have a lasting career

Wow, what a sick card
I love how they totally stack the card with Edgar/Maynard on it. It’s the right move, they need to do it. But now afterwards Dana will be like, “STILL don’t think Maynard vs Edgar will sell?”
He’s going to pretend its the main event’s doing. You know he is.
Also they best be showing some prelims on Spike
McKee’s debut as well as Vera vs Silva are must-see in my opinion.
Save Nelson for a rainy day. The sun is shining brightly on this one.
I'd also really like to see Cole Miller
Hopefully he gets a quick stoppage and can work his way onto the main card.

Because it is -1 billion to go to a decision?
It’s one thing to watch a good fight that ends in a decision, it’s another thing completely to know that neither guy is going to even try to finish it. I predict 25 minutes of me losing my warm fuzzy feeling from watching Aldo murderize Grispi.

I love finishes
They are absolutely awesome, seeing a guy just get absolutely murdered, a knee out of nowhere, a flash submission. Its a thing of beauty. Its like a shot of tequila, it punches you right n the balls and fires you up. But that doesn’t mean I can’t also equally enjoy a chess match war like Edgar/Maynard is likely to be. Its like a well brewed beer. Subtle and complex. I can like both, and I do.

Some of the best fights I've ever seen were decisions
but in all of them, the threat of a finish was ever present. It is that threat (close submission escapes, near KOs) that makes it interesting, more than the finish itself. Maynard and Edgar don’t just guarantee no finish, they remove the threat altogether, which I find to be a recipe for a boring, predictable fight.
Here’s my predictions for rounds 1-5: Maynard stalks Edgar winging haymakers, while Edgar lights him up with high-volume, low-damage punches. Eventually Maynard gets annoyed, shoots for the takedown, grinds away at some ineffective GNP. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I like Edgar
He’s just not powerful enough to finish a fight.
Maynard however is just slightly more exciting than Fitch.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
Edgar is not a conservative fighter.
He was jumping into Penn’s guard in rounds four and five. The only fight that you can argue he worked for a decision in was the Sherk fight.
Yeah
Its one thing to outbox Penn. But to take him down and dominate is something reserved for a certain charming French Canadian. I think Edgar’s a pretty game fighter. He just faces a lot of hard to finish comp. When he fought Veach he went for the finish quick.

You missed the point.
Neither one of these guys is known for their finishing prowess and Maynard is boring as hell.
I want to see it because it’s a title fight but otherwise I just can’t get into a Maynard fight.

The first fight wasn't that good...
A Maynard win will be ugly!
An Edgar win will be exciting as usual!!
If Edgar is able to take down Maynard I will be oh so happy!!
I’m guessing they’re going to let the legal process work itself out before taking any action. I’d be pissed if my job suspended/fired me because I was accused of something.

My brother is a lawyer for BNSF, and they cannot fire anybody for conduct outside of work (felony or dui mis.) without a conviction first. They can’t even make a suspension, so this is the correct handling of Leben.
Did you see the size of that chicken?
Yes they can. A million times over, yes they can. It’s not firing, it’s terminating a contract. Especially if the UFC has a personal conduct policy, which isn’t even necessary.

Is it just me
Or does this seems like one of those cards catered to the internet audience, the skill vs name recog on this card is way in the favour of skill. How will they market this, seems a bit of a waste.
Why not build some of those names on the backs of less talented more recognizable fighters?
Or… if this is how the UFC rolls now I’m happy
You know one way of looking at it is that these are mostly new names or young fighters
and putting them on a UFC card in vegas on new years is a great way to both offer a good card and give these guys exposure. I mean mckee must be the oldest guy on the card and it drops off after him.

I think this fight saved this card.
Don’t get me wrong, a fight between Carwin and Nelson would have been good but this fight is much better. I’m very excited to see how Aldo handles the size and power of Grispi. I’m excited for this card.
Damn...
This card started off sucky as hell. Edgar-Maynard big whoop. Then we got Nelson-Carwin, and Gomi-Guida, Leben-Stann, and Vera-Silva and the card became straight awesome. Losing Nelson-Carwin sucks but Aldo-Grispi is much better.
Seriously this card is great top to bottom at this point. Edgar-Maynard might be a snoozer but it is a title fight and rather important for the future of the LW division especially now that the WEC guys are coming in.
5 Yes' - 4 mehs --> I like it
- Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard (UFC lightweight championship) – Meh (but it could surprise me though with an out-of-nowhere KO)
- Jose Aldo vs. Josh Grispi (UFC featherweight championship) – Yes
- Clay Guida vs. Takanori Gomi – Yes
- Chris Leben vs. Brian Stann – Meh
- Nate Diaz vs. Dong-Hyun Kim – Yes
- Brandon Vera vs. Thiago Silva – Yes
- Cole Miller vs. Matt Wiman – Yes
- Antonio McKee vs. Jacob Volkmann – Meh
- Phil Baroni vs. Brad Tavares – Meh
BOOSH
hey man, mckee vs volkmann is a very interesting fight stylistically.
and correct me if im wrong but it is joe silva’s habit to match southpaw’s against each other (going off memory but i think jacob and mckee are both lefty)

Grispi’s already getting the benefits from this WEC/UFC merger in that he is co-main eventing a big UFC card and fighting for a Title, so good for him. Grispi has been winning his fights in the first round, but I do not think he will be able to do much against Aldo. Aldo should take this.
