McGregor held both belts under the Cage Warriors banner in Cage Warriors, but the Irish brawler needs to overcome first Aldo, who stated he is “100 percent” ready to show up at UFC 194.

Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor will face off at UFC 194, with the victor to join Ronda Rousey on the cover of UFC 2.
Though the question made him pause and laugh, McGregor couldn’t resist.
“It’s been nothing short of incredible what’s happened over the last two years”, says McGregor’s coach, John Kavanagh tells IBTimes UK.
“There’s really no difference [between this fight and my others]; you’re going to see me go in there and get the win”, Aldo said, reports MMA Junkie.
As he said via the Daily Mail, it depends on whether the “real” Jose Aldo appears and also on whether or not the Brazilian champion can take the full brunt of his offensive prowess. The two now have some extra motivation because the fight will determine the cover for ‘UFC 2’. UFC President Dana White calls it “fitting” that the victor will “not only becomes the undisputed UFC featherweight champion, but also the second global cover athlete of EA Sports UFC 2”.
“I get in there, and I put on a show”, McGregor said Wednesday. “I’m sure she had many, many things going on. He seems to be showing up this time, so I’m happy”.
It’s no longer a secret that Conor McGregor damaged his knee in the leadup to UFC 189.

Although many thousands of words will be written in the next week, as far as McGregor is concerned, there’s little left to learn about an opponent he’s studied for quite some time. They all are the same. But I feel we’re going to go ahead with it’. “I’m facing a panicked wrestler like I always face”.
