Chris 'The Killing' Fields believes opponents underestimate how hard Conor McGregor hits and fully excepts Jose Aldo to eventually take their UFC title fight to the ground. 

Ahead of the highly anticipated featherweight bout in Las Vegas, Irish MMA fighter Fields joined Off The Ball to preview the fight.  

"Whether [Aldo] thinks it or not, I promise you that if the first round starts on the feet, by the second round, Aldo will be going for the take-down because I think people really underestimate how hard [Conor] hits," he said.

Fields does not see the fight going five rounds and believes it will go in McGregor's direction.

"I think by TKO in the late second or early third," he said. 

Fields also gave a real insight into McGregor's build-up to the fight and the differences and comparisons to the weeks leading up to the Chad Mendes bout.
