With McGregor's world title fight with Jose Aldo approaching slowly but surely, the bookies have already seen significant sums on the fight. They have Aldo as a slight favourite, yet the stats seem to say otherwise. The Notorious edges Aldo on KO/TKO percentage, submission percentage, strikes landed per minute, takedown average as well as other significant stats.
Aldo is more difficult to hit with significant strikes absorbed per min showing 1.94 to 2.98 in favour of the Brazilian. He also has slightly better stats in terms of accuracy and defence.
If these stats are to be believed, McGregor will be world champions come July. However many will argue the only stat that matters is Aldo's 25-1-0 record, as well as his seven consecutive defences of the UFC featherweight championships.
