Jose Aldo has shared his prediction for Saturday's UFC 329 main event between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway.

McGregor and Holloway are set to rematch on Saturday, and heading into the bout, the Irishman is a +180 underdog while the Hawaiian is a -225 favorite on FanDuel. Given that Aldo has fought both of them, he's familiar with both, and he expects Holloway to get his hand raised.

“To me, Max is the favorite,†Aldo said to Covers.com. “He's active and still building his career. I can't really judge Conor's level because I haven't seen him compete in a long time. I haven't seen him inside the octagon, and I haven't seen him training, so I don't know where he's at. I see Max fighting today, and he's been putting on great performances. Conor is a complete question mark, we'll find out on fight night.

“I'm not saying Max Holloway is a huge favorite. Not at all. But he has the edge because he's active, he's staying sharp, and I have no idea what Conor's performance will look like. That said, Conor could walk in there and knock him out. That can absolutely happen. And it wouldn't take anything away from Max if he got knocked out by Conor, because Conor has outstanding striking and excellent timing.â€

Jose Aldo is unsure what Conor McGregor looks like

Although Aldo believes Holloway deserves to be the favorite, he does think there are some major questions about Conor McGregor.

Aldo isn't sure how McGregor will look after five years away, which makes it so hard to predict the fight.

“Nobody really knows where he's at or what kind of performance he's going to deliver,†Aldo said about McGregor. “He could perform like a 10 out of 10, or like a five. We just don't know. He could get it done early, land some good shots and win the fight. Or maybe he can't find Max and starts thinking, ‘Damn, I'm in trouble,' and ends up fighting more cautiously. Nobody knows what his performance will look like.â€

Aldo lost his featherweight title to McGregor by KO in 13 seconds in 2015. He then re-lost the featherweight title to Holloway in 2017 and lost in an immediate rematch later that year, both by TKO.

Who do you think will win the UFC 329 main event between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway?

Gable Steveson plans to be mentored by Jon Jones for the long haul, but that won't stop him from wanting some training sessions with Daniel Cormier.

When Steveson revealed he would be making the jump from freestyle wrestling to MMA, Jones offered his guidance to the Olympic gold medalist. Steveson gladly accepted, and he has gotten off to a strong 3-0 start. The number of wins grows to four if you including his 15-second knockout win over Billy Swanson, which was promoted by Dirty Boxing Championship.

Steveson appeared on MMA Junkie Radio, and he said that while he sees himself as a Jones lifer, he still wishes to train with Cormier at some point.

“I've always been with Jon,†Steveson said. “I would love to get some one-one-one training with DC. I mean, I've always told Jon that DC is a fantastic fighter, and he's one of my top two fighters of all time. I would enjoy a few classes with DC to learn how he processed fighting, how he managed from wrestling to come to fighting.

“I would love that. It would be an honor to be a part of a team with DC and have DC kind of guide me in the right direction, but I've been with Jon my whole short career right now, and I plan on keeping Jon forever. But I would love to have DC give me a few lessons.â€

Jones and Cormier had a heated rivalry during their fighting careers. Both men even brawled during a UFC 178 press event. The two ultimately had their first encounter at UFC 182 with Jones winning via unanimous decision. Their July 2017 rematch at UFC 214 saw “Bones†initially score a third-round head kick knockout, but the result was overturned due to a failed drug test.

“Bones†will be in full support of Steveson this Saturday at UFC 329. The former Olympian will be facing Elisha Ellison in his promotional debut. Steveson is a massive betting favorite over Ellison, who is coming off a first-round loss to Brando Pericic.

Is it a good idea for Gable Steveson to branch out for guidance outside of Jon Jones? Sound off in the comments below.

Dana White believes the winner of the UFC 329 main event on Saturday will have a bevy of directions available.

Conor McGregor is readying up for his return fight after being away from pro MMA competition for five years. He'll meet an old foe in Max Holloway, who he defeated all the way back in 2013. It's a significant event that figures to have major implications for the winner of the welterweight headliner.

White knows what's at stake, and he told The Mac Life that he has several ideas regardless of who emerges victorious inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (via MMAJunkie).

“Anything is possible if he wins on Saturday night,†White said. “Whoever wins on Saturday night it's a big win and a big step up in their careers, especially at this point in time. These are two guys that have done it all. I've got like five scenarios in my head if Conor wins, and I've got like three for Max if Max wins. So, it's huge for both of them.

“The thing that I love about the sport is, like, who saw the White House coming? That that would happen? I didn't see this fight coming. Last year I was telling you guys I think he'll fight this year and he didn't so then I was thinking he wouldn't fight. It's what keeps this thing fun is, we have an idea of what the rest of the year looks like, but things will happen that we don't see coming.â€

This will be Holloway's first bout at 170 pounds, but not many pundits feel he will stick around in the weight class whether he wins or loses this weekend. While a UFC lightweight title fight can't be ruled out, Charles Oliveira is ahead of “Blessed†on the pecking order after defeating him back in March.

As for McGregor, many feel his days at 155 pounds are over. The “Notorious†one has been trading barbs with reigning lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, however. If McGregor's return to the Octagon goes the way he's planning, then his next outing will be quite the story to follow.
