RIO DE JANEIRO – It takes a small army of security personnel to usher Jose Aldo into the van that awaits the UFC’s featherweight titleholder. Along the way, he answers as many reporters’ questions as possible, smiles for camera click after camera click and signs a few dozen autographs. Thursday’s swirl of activity follows a three-hour engagement in which Aldo participated in a news conference, put on a public workout session that featured a soundtrack by a live rock band and then waded through a sea of fans and reporters to answer even more questions as microphones, cameras and recorders were shoved in his face.

Each with two straight losses, they’re in what can only be described these days as critical territory going into UFC 161, which takes place at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. But for Clarke (9-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC), tell him he’s backed in a corner all you want. He’s not about to walk into his fight with Maguire (18-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) with a bad attitude. “You can’t go in thinking negative, in my opinion,” Clarke on Wednesday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) after a short workout for fans in Winnipeg.
