In recent months, Conor McGregor e José Aldo They developed one of the most intense rivalries in world MMA, exchanging jabs, blunt statements and even almost coming to blows. However, when they finally step into the Octagon, the rivals will apparently maintain the dispute in a strictly professional manner. At least that's what Aldo and McGregor themselves assured, during a telephone conference with the press to promote UFC 194.

“I don't think much about it, the first step is to win, I don't see any problem in shaking his hand or not. We will be working there. Let’s see what will happen after the fight”, said the Brazilian. “I will touch gloves before the fight, but not when the referee authorizes the fight to start. After the fight, I have no problem congratulating him. This is business. Two nations will collide and peace will be restored after the fight,” said McGregor, in a surprising response.

Possibly greeting each other before the duel, José Aldo e Conor McGregor face each other on December 12th, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas (USA). The confrontation valid for the unification of the interim and linear featherweight belts will be the main fight of UFC 194.
