Last night Conor McGregor spoke to the media in Vegas and when questioned whether he would specifically target Jose Aldo’s ribs knowing the champion injured them, he responded in typical Conor McGregor fashion:

Conor McGregor knows he’ll be fighting July 11, he just doesn’t know yet whom he’ll face.

But if it’s Jose Aldo, the Irish contender insists the UFC featherweight champ doesn’t need to worry about his ailing ribs.

I’m going to go for the chin; I want to knock him out, McGregor said. He doesn’t need to worry about his ribs, and I’m not going to go out and purposely target an area. If he shows up and fights, which he should do, we’ll fight as scheduled.
