Aldo seems to be the focus here, McGregor citing the Brazilian’s recent return from a rib injury that could pose questions on whether he is ready or not to finally get it on once again in the Octagon.

Rumors hinting on a possible Aldo no-show have been cropping up but Dana White did guarantee everyone that the Brazilian champion will be at UFC 194 to make their much awaited match happen.
“I said to them, ‘it’s a little bit too early, ‘” he said.
Aldo and McGregor have been trading verbal jabs since the buildup for their UFC 189 showdown, which was eventually canceled after the defending champion sustained a rib injury in training. “I know my actions, I have to do to get there and win”. You might not think it at first, but it adds a lot more to this training video than you might think. I hope he’s there, but I don’t know.
The power balance of this featherweight decider has changed drastically over the course of 2015, and McGregor’s louder persona has installed him as the favoured fighter for the Las Vegas bout.
“This event, along with UFC 189 putting me at close to $200 million dollars in revenue generated for this company”.
