They don't move like I move. They don't think like I think.

Mama Aldo didn't raise no fool, it appears. The long-standing featherweight champion of the UFC is being very meticulous with his preparations for his upcoming bout with Conor McGregor. Aldo even brought in the Jungle Fight Bantamweight and Featherweight champion, Jonas Bilharinho, to shadowbox like the Notorious, in a bid to study his techniques up close. Obviously, Bilharinho isn't the real deal and an intelligent fighter like Aldo will know this. However, studying his rangey style and unusual movement could provide Aldo with some sort of preparation of the acerbic-tongued Irish man. Either way, it's a sign that Aldo isn't taking this fight lightly. Tell McGregor, Aldo's coming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zUGHfQ9HpI&feature=youtu.be Hat-tip to Reddit
