Jose Aldo was supposed to be defending his UFC Featherweight belt on July 11.

The promotional push for UFC 194 kicked off in a relatively low-key fashion, last night, when both fighters met up for a face-to-face snap, and to speak with MMA journalists.

The Brazilian claims he was watching football with friends when McGregor was proving to the world that he can walk the walk.
