This week the UFC are putting on 30 fights in just 3 days with proceedings culminating with Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor clashing at UFC 194 in a bout to unify the UFC’s Featherweight title.

Who wins the hotly anticipated fight between Aldo and McGregor has been debated by fight fans for over a year and today at a media day in Las Vegas many of the other twenty-eight fighters on the fight cards this week weren’t short of a word or two about the contest either.

Whilst many are saying that the winner of Friday’s fight between Frankie Edgar and Chad Mendes will determine the next number contender for the winner of Aldo and McGregor, Max Holloway and Jeremy Stephens are two other fighters in the featherweight division also vying for the title.

Speaking to James Edwards at the media day today, Max Holloway, who is currently riding a seven fight win streak having been beaten by McGregor back in April 2013, said he is ready to get revenge on the Irishmen for his previous decision loss.

Holloway’s opponent this week, Jeremy Stephens who is currently ranked eighth in the division and also had the winner of the unification title on his mind.

Fighters even competing outside of McGregor’s current division this week seemingly have the Irishmen on their mind and required no second invitation to speak about him.

Uriah Faber has been a fighter in very close proximity of McGregor since July, having been an opposing coach on The Ultimate Fighter 22 TV series that culminates this Friday evening.

During the last few months of the show, McGregor and Faber clashed verbally many times, numerous of the instances of which were caught on camera.

Despite McGregor asking for a fight with Faber on November’s UFC Dublin card, UFC president Dana White turned down his request, instead deciding not to risk a potential injury for his already booked showdown with Aldo in December.

Instead, Faber this week finds himself facing Frankie Saenz’s and stepping back down to the bantamweight division in a clash that will close the preliminary card on Saturday’s UFC 194 show.

Despite McGregor not being his target this week, Faber still reiterated his desire at one point to face the Irishmen, saying today at the media day.

Whilst Conor McGregor winning the unification title fight this week is not assured, one thing we know for certain is that following Saturday he won’t have any difficulty finding a future opponent, whether it be in his current featherweight division or if he steps up to lightweight.
