Conor McGregor Talks Jose Aldo, Frankie Edgar, Liam Neeson, Joe Duffy and More

Conor McGregor isn’t a man who minces his words. Already, the fighting Irishman is doubting whether Jose Aldo will show up for their scheduled bout at UFC 194 on December 12, and he's claimed after securing victory on the night, he'll move up to the lightweight division.

The pair were scheduled to fight at UFC 189 in July for the UFC featherweight title, but Aldo pulled out of the event with a rib injury. McGregor, who went on to knock out Chad Mendes on the night to secure the interim featherweight belt, told Damon Martin of FOX Sports he thinks the Brazilian didn’t really fancy it, but he’s hoping he does so this time:

If he never shows up, that's not on me—that’s on him.
