Jose Aldo finally faces Conor McGregor in a title unification bout this weekend, but it looks like there could be a lot more at stake. In a bit of surprising news, one of Aldo's primary training partners in Andy Souwer revealed that UFC 194's mammoth main event could very well be the final bout for the long time featherweight champion.

Here's how the conversation went as the former K-1 Max champion spoke to MMAPlusTV.

Interviewer: Regardless of win or lose, do you think this is the last time we see Jose Aldo in the Octagon?

Andy Souwer: To be honest, yeah I think. Yeah, I think so.

Interviewer: If he wins, step away on top?

[Souwer nods]

Interviewer: I think if we look at everything that happened with Dana and the UFC... [Souwer nods] and the way they spoke about Aldo. He seemed like a man scorned and a man hurt because he put his life for that organization.

Andy Souwer: Yes. That's true. So I think he's done with it. And ready. I will agree. Whatever he is thinking, it's his decision. But I think it will be good for him.

... Of course (he's going to win). Jose is (the top) pound-for-pound fighter. He will succeed this time also, and it will be a fairytale story. I'll put my money on it.

Souwer also spoke candidly about how in past fights, Aldo would slow down in training after sparring for 2 rounds, and said it showed on some of his bouts. For this camp though, he says Aldo is much different, and goes six, six-minute rounds without any issues.

Aldo is currently just 29-years-old, and is conceivably still in the prime of his career. He has already been fighting for over a decade though, and has had 26 bouts in a hall-of-fame career. With number 27 being by far the biggest and most high profile title bout for Aldo, it will be interesting to see if he really decides to hang it up, with lucrative bouts (or rematches) that could open up after.
