One could hazard a guess that Jose Aldo is planning to take The Notorious to the mat in their unification bout.

The Featherweight champion is hard at it as he prepares to take on the McGregor, the interim champion, on December 12. A rib fracture ruled the Brazilian out of their UFC 189 title bout, in July. Aldo took a kick to the ribs during a sparring session and was ruled out of action for three months. The latest training footage shows Aldo sparring in a singlet and, it would seem, without any padding or protection around his ribs. Given the trouble that Chad Mendes' wrestling skills caused McGregor, last time out, Aldo would be wise to target the Irishman for more takedowns. https://youtu.be/dtGXYCoszbI
