"I'm worried about Aldo," Johnson said. "It's a tough fight. Aldo is a different beast, but we've never seen Aldo fight somebody who comes forward. Everything changes [when an opponent comes forward]."
"It doesn't matter how hard you train or how good your cardio is -- when somebody comes forward and pressures you and makes you fight, it's a totally different ball game," Johnson said. "When you hit pads, you're not pushing forward. When you're sparring, are you colliding with your training partners and creating scrambles? Probably not, because it's uncomfortable to do that.
"I think Conor McGregor, that's his fighting style. He comes forward. Aldo doesn't really come forward. He almost mesmerizes you with the jab, low kick, inside kick, 1-2. I think Conor is going to force that exchange and we're going to find out who's going to be standing after."
