As of right now, Aldo is still expected to defend his UFC Featherweight Championship. However, we could be finding out if he will be able to fight sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>Aldo will be returning to training tomorrow for the first time since suffering his rib injury last Tuesday, according to his training partner Jonas Bilharinho. Bilharinho told the MMA Hour, &#8220;I think he will probably fight. And I hope so. I will be with him on Tuesday to see what he\u2019s capable of doing during training or not, but my opinion right now is that he\u2019s going to fight. I\u2019m going to be optimistic about it because Aldo wants this fight so bad. I think this fight will probably happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bilharinho claims that if Aldo decides to fight, pain will not be a factor once the clock starts ticking. &#8220;He\u2019s very strong mentally. Once he decides to fight, the pain won\u2019t be a problem,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I know he can beat Conor. He totally can beat Conor.<\/p>\n<p>Aldo hasn&#8217;t seen his training partner since last Thursday, but apparently the champion was so hurt that he couldn&#8217;t walk right. &#8220;He was walking slowly to not feel the pain on the ribs,&#8221; Bilharinho said. &#8220;It\u2019s disturbing. You can\u2019t punch, you can\u2019t move, you can\u2019t breathe, but the pain was still fresh. I don\u2019t know right now. It\u2019s probably better. If the pain got worse, he will probably don\u2019t fight. But I think the fight is going to happen. I don\u2019t think it will get any worse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Jose Aldo defend the belt at UFC 189?
