Nova Uniao head coach Andre Pederneiras wasn’t a fan of USADA’s decision to ban intravenous rehydration after weigh-ins when it was first announced back in June, but his team isn’t expecting any issues for UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
"Scarface" meets interim champion Conor McGregor at Saturday’s UFC 194 in Las Vegas, and has to weigh in at 145 pounds at 6 p.m. ET. According to Aldo’s strength and conditioning trainer Orlando Folhes, he will be at his best when he steps inside the Octagon to unify belts.
"We have a strong team of doctors behind us to minimize the factor that we can’t use the IV," Folhes told MMAFighting.
