Jose Aldo Wants Pre-Fight Brawl With Conor McGregor As The UFC Featherweight Champion Brings In Jonas Bilharinho To Prepare For The Blockbuster UFC 189 Event
Jose Aldo is not sure if he will be able to wait until "UFC 189" to put his hands on Conor McGregor as the UFC featherweight champion wants to repeat the Jon Jones-Daniel Cormier pre-fight brawl.
Citing Jose Aldo's recent involvement in drug testing debacle, Conor McGregor called the reigning UFC featherweight champion, "Little Weasel."
McGregor went as far as stating that using performance-enhancing drugs might be Brazilian culture. Aldo got back at McGregor saying that he believes that the Irish mixed martial artist is actually using some kind of PEDs to make 145 pounds.
Its no secret, Jose Aldo doesn't like Conor McGregor a bit, and he is prepping to show him exactly that in the most physical way possible even if that comes prior to their "UFC 189" bout.
The two men faced off several times during the "UFC 189" world tour earlier this year, and probably the only thing that prevented him from touching his opponent was the possibility of being fined. However, the UFC champ now believes he is cleared to do whatever he wants, MMA Fighting noted.
In a press conference in his gym on Tuesday, Aldo said, "We talked about a possible fine during the tour, but it is too expensive, and I couldn't afford getting fined."
"That was an issue because I couldn't do what I wanted to do. But the fight is around the corner now so we can do something more because nobody will do anything about it. It there's any trash talk, I know what I'm going to do.
"I already have in my mind what I'm going to do, but it's a secret," the champion continued. "It's going to be a different Aldo. There's no fine or suspension anymore. After everything they spent, they won't cancel this fight for anything. I'm sure he will come after me, but I guarantee it's going to be different this time," Aldo added.
Talking about McGregor's pre-fight trash talk, Aldo said he'd love to fight with him on fight week.
Aldo said he is hoping that there's brawl and that's what people want. He added that it would be in fact wonderful since he is paid to beat people up. Hoping that he can beat McGregor, Aldo noted that the fun is now over, and after this staredown, he will give up doing anything he was planning to do.
Aldo said McGregor will be afraid after their upcoming staredown.
"I'm usually calm, he's the one trying to promote himself. We'll see when we're face to face, and I will let my hands do the talking for me," Aldo said.
Aldo added, "he can say whatever he wants, but he will feel my answer when the time comes. I'm sure he will be afraid, I felt that when I looked into his eyes. I'm going after him. He's never fought a guy like me before."
As Aldo gears up for his bout with McGregor on July 11 at "UFC 189" in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Brazilian mixed martial artist invited Jonas 'Speed' Bilharinho to the Nova União headquarters to mirror "The Notorious'" unorthodox fighting style. Bilharinho has won the bantamweight as well as the featherweight titles in Brazilian MMA and kickboxing promotion, Jungle Fight, according to Bloody Elbow.
Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor both have less than four weeks to work and improve their game before the square off in the Octagon on July 11 for the mega "UFC 189" event.
