UFC FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION Jose Aldo has showed up at tonight’s event at TD Garden in Boston to get a close look at the man likely to be his next opponent.

Provided Conor McGregor can defeat Dennis Siver, the Dubliner has been promised a title shot later this year.

Aldo had a dig at his outspoken rival by unveiling a poster which depicts McGregor as a jester and reads: “Go Joker, go… make me laugh.”

“I told him that he better win (tonight) because this is the fight I want so it better happen in the future,” Aldo told reporters this evening.

After speculation that Croke Park would host the title shot, Dana White poured cold water on the hopes of Irish fans by confirming that Las Vegas was being lined up. On the location, the Brazilian added:

“I don’t see any problems. Wherever the fight is, he’s going to bring his Irish fans and I’ll bring my Brazilian fans.”

    Rose could just be the one to do it. No fuss good shots…sensible golf…there’s a calm about him that might just get him there.
    A nice English Lad… He’s got my support..

    McIlroy woods pairing should be good to watch, both pushing each other. Maybe five/six under each for the day and sure ya never know then.

    Would ye stop, a 70 would be more than enough for Spieth to win. He’s the best putter out there and seems to have nerves of steel for his age, the up and down on 18 last night was massive for him.

    Speith has lost four tournaments a in the last year having lead into the last day. Interesting stat. He’d be a worthy winner but who doesn’t want some drama on Masters Sunday.
