The UFC featherweight champin, Jose Aldo, took the time to answer some fans' questions on Combate's Facebook page yesterday, most of which were regarding his upcoming title fight against Conor McGregor in December.

When asked how he was planning to defeat The Notorious, Aldo revealed he wants to make quick work of him, as opposed to his grueling title defense against Chad Mendes last year. The champion also claimed Conor's trash talk does not affect him.

"It will be as quick as possible, because nobody suffers that way. We can go back home right away to eat and celebrate. We will suffer much less this time. Everybody always ask me if I want to hit him more than other opponents, but that doesn't matter to me. The only thing that's important is that I remain the champion. I don't get sucked into it. I focus on doing my job, keeping the title. It doesn't matter to me if I go in there and finish him quickly, if I drop him with one punch. All that matters is that I walk out victorious," wrote Aldo.

Another fan asked Aldo how he feels about T.J. Dillashaw's desire to take him on in a super fight. Aldo said it would be thrilling, though he believes the Team Alpha Male standout is talking way too much.

"I fight him whenever he wants. Talk is cheap, even parrots can talk. I want to see it when we are both face to face. I would be thrilled to fight him, but I think it won't happen anytime soon. He should focus on other fighters who will appear in his weight class and I will focus on my next step, which is Conor," Aldo wrote.

Jose Aldo is scheduled to defend his title against Conor McGregor at UFC 194 in Las Vegas on December 12.
