Conor McGregor has claimed he has had spies in Jose Aldo's gym during his training camp.

McGregor will finally come face-to-face with the UFC's featherweight champion on Saturday, five months after their first meeting was cancelled when Aldo suffered a broken rib.

And the Irishman is confident he has the inside track on his opponent.

Members of McGregor's team have been keeping a close eye on Aldo, according to the Irishman 

'He brought in a guy to mimic me and the guy that mimicked me put him out of the fight with a spin kick that went wide. I saw it; it was a sloppy kick,' McGregor said on UFC Embedded.

'It was embarrassing to even get caught with a shot like that.

'It just goes to show how flat and stuck he is. There's no-one that can mimic me. I have my spies in their camp so I see everything that goes on in that camp.' McGregor recently moved from his California base to a mansion in Las Vegas.

He and Aldo will weigh-in at the MGM Grand on Friday before returning the following day for their long-awaited fight.
