Brian Stann: Jose Aldo should fight at UFC 189 'based on the financial impact alone'

Jose Aldo has said he has every intention of fighting Conor McGregor at UFC 189. But should he?

The UFC featherweight champion has a lot to lose, especially since McGregor knows that Aldo has a bruised rib and will likely target that area in the main event bout July 11. However, UFC on FOX analyst Brian Stann told MMAFighting.com that Aldo likely has even more to gain.

"I think he makes the walk based on the financial impact alone," Stann said. "Here's the positive things for Jose Aldo going into this fight: This fight is going to make him an awful lot of money -- win, lose or draw.
