Aldo: Ribs are ‘great’, waiting for UFC to schedule fight with McGregor
At a recent Q&A, Aldo revealed that his ribs are healed and he is now just waiting for the UFC to book his title fight with Conor McGregor.
When Jose Aldo had to pull out of UFC 189, he knew the injury was severe enough to not compete, but wouldn’t put him on the shelf for long. At a recent Q&A, Aldo revealed that his ribs are healed and he is now just waiting for the UFC to book his title fight with Conor McGregor:
My ribs are great, Aldo said at a UFC 190 Fan Q&A in Brazil. I’ve already come back to practice. It’s now just time to wait for UFC to set the fight.
Aldo and McGregor exchanged many words prior to UFC 189. McGregor had continued his verbal assault following his interim title win and has said he’s not entirely confident the fight will happen because he feels Aldo is scared.
The Brazilian said McGregor’s victory over Mendes changed nothing about his approach to the fight. He said his strategy was set prior to the injury and only minor adjustments will be made when he’s finally locked inside the octagon with The Notorious.
I already had a strategy; the strategy was ready, Aldo said. We only canceled the fight two weeks before. The strategy is ready. I think everything we practiced, we saw in Chad’s fight it would work. We have the path set for us and now we just have to enhance it.
