Prior to their fight at UFC 194, ‘Notorious’ had made some comments on Aldo, which many people thought were over the line. He had said, “For him to say he’s the king and I’m the joker if this was a different time, I would invade his favela on horseback and kill everyone that is not fit to walk. But we are in a new time, So I’ll just whoop his a**”

Aldo is currently riding high on a 2 fight win streak and while Nurmagomedov does not believe the fighter can reach the top. Surprisingly, his old rival McGregor believes in him.
