The rivalry between Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo was one of the worst beefs in the history of the UFC. Aldo was one of the biggest MMA stars who was undefeated for nearly a decade. 'Junior' was also the UFC featherweight champion for five years when faced the 'Notorious' in 2015.

Conor McGregor left no stone unturned when it came to insulting Jose Aldo before the face-off. The Irishman tore the Brazilian's poster and threw darts at it during the UFC tour, telling Aldo in his own tongue that he was "going to die." It is no secret that the featherweight champion was irked out of his senses, which became a reason for his downfall.

In a pre-fight press conference, Conor McGregor was asked by a reporter why he hated Jose Aldo so much. The 'Notorious', showing no respect for the reporter, replied,

"This is not a therapy session. I said what I said. He (Jose Aldo) spoke my name out of tone. He should have kept his mouth shut. He should have given me my credit for what I've done for this division. I made this division. Without me, this division is nothing. Without me, he is prelim. He did not (respect me). Now I get him at every single opportunity."

#1 - Conor McGregor takes down a reporter inside the octagon

The UFC hosted a show ahead of UFC 194 featuring Conor McGregor, former UFC champion Chael Sonnen and an MMA reporter. All the involved parties were engaged in making predictions about how the fight would go between the 'Notorious' and Jose Aldo.

Conor McGregor demonstrated the many ways in which he could finish as UFC featherweight champion. Chael Sonnen, on the other hand, said that Jose Aldo's speed would play a role against the 'Notorious' at UFC 194.

When the reporter began to give his two cents, 'Uncle' Chael offered to "take the fight to Conor," observing how the reporter had been sizing up Conor all the while. The reporter obliged and squared up against the UFC star, who executed a single-leg take-down on the reporter and airboxed him into submission.
