UFC-194-Promo

The Fight is Actually Taking Place

The talk has been endless, and at some times it did indeed seem endless, ahead of the most-anticipated and most-hyped fight of the year between longtime featherweight champion Jose Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and interim champion Conor McGregor (18-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) . Insults have been hurled, threats have been made, injuries have led to postponement but now, finally we are on the cusp of the two men settling their differences in the Octagon. If the fight can live up to 1% of the hype, then it’s going to be f**king awesome. Might be worth calling your buddies over and making a night of it. That’s what we are all hoping for anyway.SEE ALSO: The Conor McGregor Fight Mindset>>

Conor McGregor

McGregor Fans May Get to See Him Fulfill His Destiny

Conor is the trash talker of all trash talkers. A YouTube compilation video of every time the Dubliner insulted the Brazilian during the promotion of this fight is a whopping 7:39 minutes long.  When asked on a media conference call whether being in Brazil to watch Jose Aldo up close when he fought Chad Mendes in October 2014 gave him any more of an insight into the challenge he faces, McGregor answered as only he can, saying: “I looked at that fight ringside and I thought, wow this Chad Mendes hits like an animal; he is a dangerous, dangerous man. Then I went in with him and myself and realized he hits like a bitch. If anything, it showed me that these people aren’t on my level.”This demonstrates his incredible self-belief and his incredible propensity to insult. That said, at every step in his UFC career, he has backed up his big talk with wins in the Octagon. If he does it again this weekend, then it will be some feat. SEE ALSO: How to Throw a Punch>>

Mcgregor-Aldo-Faceoff

McGregor Haters Could Get to See Aldo Beat the Crap Out of Him

The reason McGregor is so high profile is because MMA fans either love him or hate him. Hell, UFC fighters either love him or hate him. This is what Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone had to say on the prospect of the Irishman moving up to the 155 pound lightweight division (the two exchanged pleasantries at a press conference a couple of months back): “I’m gonna bend his little ass over and knock the f**kin’ Lucky Charms out of him.” McGregor rattled Aldo on the first press tour, stealing his belt and insulting the champion, but Aldo has been much more reserved in the run up to the rescheduled fight. “It doesn’t matter to me if he underestimates me. I train for myself. I fight for myself. Whatever he thinks or anyone else says, it doesn’t matter. I am going to go in there and win, which is what I always do,” is what the Brazilian recently said about this fight. If Aldo is in the zone this weekend and McGregor is not as good as he says he is against the very best, then it could be a painful night for the 27-year-old Irish fighter.SEE ALSO: How UFC star Conor McGregor Trained for UFC 189>>

Wiedman-Rockhold

The Other Title Fight on the Card

With all the McGregor/Aldo hype, not enough attention is really being paid to the co-main event, which will have UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman defend his title against number one contender Luke Rockhold. This fight could be explosive. Weidman and Rockhold seem to respect each other, but there has been some verbal barbs between the two in the run up to this one. SEE ALSO: The MMA Workout>>
