The two titans of the UFC are finally set to lay it all on the line. Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo will battle for the featherweight crown on Saturday. The time for talking is over.
McGregor is looking for his third win of the year after disposing of Chad Mendes in the second round in July to take the interim featherweight title. Aldo was forced out of action just before that fight with a rib injury and hasn't stepped into the octagon since October 2014.

Lots of talking
McGregor has taken full advantage of his microphone time leading up to this fight. He has repeatedly taken shot after shot after shot at Aldo: calling him soft, scared and ill-prepared for Saturday's main event. Meanwhile, Aldo has laid back and allowed McGregor to say whatever he wants.
"The guy's working for me," he said. "He's basically making me money, so how could I be angry with him? I think he did very good for the weight class so I'm happy with that. Nothing's changed. He's still 'The Joker' to me. He's doing good work. He's bringing me money. But he's still the same to me."
Too much rest?
It's been 14 months since Aldo has stepped into the octagon for a fight. Many fighters who experience that long of a layoff see some drop off in performance in the ring. Meanwhile, McGregor is entering his third fight of the year and appears as fresh as can be.
