Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor will finally meet inside the Octagon in 10 days, and the UFC featherweight champion can’t wait to shut "The Notorious" up for good.
Five days before flying from Rio de Janeiro to Las Vegas for UFC 194, Aldo joined McGregor and other UFC 194 stars in a conference call on Wednesday. Aldo responded to past comments about McGregor not targeting his injured ribs if the two had fought at UFC 189, and explained why he ultimately decided to pull out of the bout.
"[McGregor] wouldn’t even get close to me, he wouldn’t hit me," Aldo said.
