Everything is ready for the long-awaited duel. José Aldo e Conor McGregor they beat the weight limit for the featherweight division and gave the green light to the main fight of UFC 194, an event that will take place this Saturday (12) in Las Vegas. In the last meeting before entering the octagon, the fighters provoked each other again and the fight almost started a day in advance.

The look, as expected, was hot. Aldo “was funny” by imitating the position taken by McGregor during the press conferences, but the Irishman went after him, even trying to kick the Brazilian, and had to be blocked by Dana White, the president of the UFC (see the video below).
The weigh-in
Both Aldo and McGregor reached the weight of 65,7 kg, the maximum allowed in title fights in the category. The Irishman, who was quite thin, was enthusiastically applauded by the Irish fans present at the venue. Aldo, under boos, maintained a more serious appearance.
“I don’t want to know, I don’t think anything of him. Tomorrow I will win and continue to be the champion”, said Aldo. “I'm tired of talking about José. I look at him and I see fear. This time, he won’t take what’s mine”, replied the interim champion.

“He’s never faced anyone like me before. He's saying a lot of things, but he's going to try a completely new game against me”, said the champion. “Chris has been a great champion, but I'm going to take the category to a new level”, countered the challenger.
