Should be one hellovawar. I believe that Jose Aldo is currently the #1 pound-for-pound boxing/MMA sportfighter in the world, and I am betting my money on him. That being said, I won't be surprised if he stays on defense too much and gets caught by Conor's raw power.
Aldo's easiest win would come from baiting McGregor's counterattacks... the Irishman has terrible recovery after his own attacks, especially his own counters. If Aldo can maintain balance and doesn't hesitate, he should be able to catch McGregor with one of his devastating flurries.
McGregor's easiest win would come from punishing Aldo for using his superior kicks. A straight hard left fist delivered right on the button while Aldo is in the middle of attempting a punishing leg-kick should be lights-out for the Phenom.
Overall this is a great match. If the fight ends early, it is most likely because of McGregor's power. The longer it goes on, the more chance there is that Aldo's superior arsenal will find a way to force or steal a win... Assuming Aldo's conditioning can carry him well into the later times of the fight.

Frankie vs. Urijah
For me this comes down to just one thing:
When is the real Urijah gonna show-up again?
Because if he comes as himself, Frankie can't handle it.
If he doesn't... It will be painful to watch.
Chris Weidman vs Luke Rockhold
I just don't see Weidman getting caught in the rear naked choke.
It could happen, yes... But I seriously doubt it.
Tecia Torres vs Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger
Not that I don't like Jocelyn, I just think this is a token fight for Torres.

What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?
