Jose Aldo is bald, Conor McGregor is moving and Chris Weidman seems to be best buddies with Luke Rockhold.

That’s essentially the gist of the latest UFC Embedded episode.

With mere hours to go until the realisation of the most anticipated UFC featherweight fight in history, it’s interesting to see how both Aldo and McGregor completed their fight camps.

Aldo did things the typical way, shadow-boxing and jumping rope to get the last bit of weight off of him.

McGregor, meanwhile, was busy finishing up his work with “movement expert” Ido Portal as he did some footwork drills on the premises of his depressingly impressive Las Vegas mansion.

We also got a glimpse of the surprising camaraderie between Rockhold and Weidman as the middleweight duo exchanged some banter ahead of their 185 lb title fight.

Not long to go now…
