The tension is ramping up.
The latest episode of UFC Embedded finds Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo Jr in London, England. The atmosphere in the Aldo camp has lightened since ‘Touchgate’ but the defending champion is in no mood to get nice.
‘Now it’s time to go on the offensive,’ he declares as he sets off from Toronto.
As for the challenger, McGregor declares Aldo’s belt is already is. Asked how it felt to touch the belt, The Notorious replies, “Familiar.”
As for the atmosphere McGregor is expecting in London and Dublin (today), he proclaims, ‘It’s going to be loud, it’s going to be intense, and I can’t fucking wait.”
The London press briefing produced more comedy gold. First off, Aldo claimed the Irishman had touched his neck as ‘maybe he likes me too much’.
The latest stare-down followed and McGregor, eyes wide open, declared the Brazilian does not want to touch his belt in his presence.
