UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo spoke to MMA Junkie earlier this week as he makes his final preparations to face Chad Mendes for the second time at UFC 179 on Saturday.

When asked about a potential McGregor fight, the champion replied

“I’m focused on my next fight, which is against Chad Mendes. If people are hyping Conor, I haven’t read about it.

“After my fight, I’ll have time to see what the hype’s all about.

“I make it a point to observe all fighters in the featherweight category. I’m the champion, and I plan to remain the champion.

“I do pay attention to any featherweight fight where someone is ranked in the UFC, since that could potentially be my next adversary. Conor is no different than any other fighter.

“I don’t see anything that stands out”
