UFC president Dana White says Jose Aldo vs Conor McGregor will be like 'Hagler vs Hearns'

To borrow an old sports cliche, don't blink!

Dana White is doing the final media rounds for UFC 194: Jose Aldo vs. Conor McGregor, set to take place tomorrow (Sat., Dec. 12, 2015) inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and told the Colin Cowherd radio show to expect a war.

It's a fight that was supposed to have happened in the summer when the two were first booked to do battle for supremacy at 145 pounds.

White said one of McGregor's biggest criticisms heading into his scheduled UFC 189 title shot against Aldo was that he hadn't faced a world class wrestler, and if he did he wouldn't be facing the champion at all.
