Will Aldo vs Mendes Be Moved to UFC 134?

A featherweight title fight between champion Jose Aldo and challenger Chad Mendes had been penciled in by most for the UFC 133 card in Philadelphia. After all, that's what Dana White announced at the UFC 129 post-fight press conference. While he didn't say it was a lock, he made it pretty clear that the fight would take place there. But that's starting to look less and less likely. Sherdog spoke with Team Alpha Male BJJ coach Fabio "Pateta" Prado, and he indicated that the fight could be moved

"Both sides have agreed to the fight, but it’s not officially set," said Prado, in Rio de Janeiro to back another protégé, Strikeforce veteran Derrick Burnsed, at Jungle Fight 28. "We’re already working on facing Jose Aldo at UFC 133, but there is a chance for that fight to happen at UFC 134. As far as I know, people from Brazil are pressuring [UFC President] Dana [White] in an attempt to convince him."
