Conor McGregor Says Jose Aldo Is Too Emotional, Wants Interim Title For Him To Be Removed

Nov 23, 2015 08:21 PM EST | By Rolly Gacelo

There is no assurance whether the Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo fight in MMA will happen but as early as now, things are already intense between the two.

In his latest interview, the Irish MMA fighter says his Brazilian counterpart is too emotional. McGregor also promised that if ever their fight pushes through, people will see a 'banged up' Brazilian.

"I just don't think he'll be there, we'll see," he said in the interview.

"If he makes that walk, and he is inside the Octagon, every single movement will get an overreaction from him. He's emotionally invested; there's too much in it for him. I feel him overreacting, overextending and then him be KO'd unconscious. [On what you'll see at the post-fight press conference] You're going to see the belt right there on the stage. You're going to see a banged up Brazilian. Hopefully we see that. It could be somebody else, but you'll see me there with a gold belt, a brand new, custom-made suit and a smile on my face."

Before that he also lamented UFC's decision to bestow him the UFC Interim Featherweight Champion title saying the word interim should not be there.

"Interim -- take that interim out of there," he said.

"There's no interim in this. I'm a world champion. He's a world champion. We're going to find out who's the unified world champion. Don't put interim in there; I don't like that. Reebok sent over a lot of gear with interim all over. I'm like, 'What the f--k is that interim doing on my sh-it? I showed up."

Talks of the Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo fight were halted in July of this year because as the fight date nears, Aldo decided to back out because of what he claims a rib injury he suffered during training.

The two camps revived discussion and are now expected to fight in on December 12 for UFC 194.
