Conor McGregor says that he is ready to take the Octagon once more but still has doubts on whether Jose Aldo is ready for UFC 194 set for Dec. 12.
While the Notorious has been sounding off sarcastically, this time it looks like the tone is a bit more serious for McGregor.

The two were supposed to get it on last July at UFC 189 but as everyone knows, Aldo had to pull out on account of an injury.
Aldo is all better now but as far as his preparations for the coming UFC 194 tiff is concerned, McGregor has some reservations.

"I said to them, 'it's a little bit too early for Aldo,' because of his ribs, and his body. I just thought, 'he's going to rush into camp, again ... and he could pull out, injured, once again.' We're getting close, now. All signs point that he'll show up. I hope he does. Let's see," says Aldo via Fox Sports.
So far though, there is no word on whether Aldo will be indeed pulling out from the upcoming event though there was that celebrated claim by Chael Sonnen that Aldo may not show up at all against McGregor via his podcast.
Those were immediately shot down by UFC Dana White in a Q&A with media (via MMA Junkie) prior to UFC 193, saying that there is no truth to the claim that Aldo will not be around for UFC 194.
Regardless and on whether these claims have any bearing or not, McGregor will be around no matter what.
"I have made it. I have put myself through an intense training camp. I'm going to enjoy that beach weather, get that Vitamin D and make it to fight night. Who cares if he's there or not? I'll be there. I hope he's there, but I don't know."
