However, unfortunately for Aldo the fight was over nearly as soon as it started.
Wherever he ends up in 2016, McGregor will remain unshakably confident in his fists and their ability to make his wildest predictions come true. Only 13 seconds, ‘ he is quoted as saying by BJPENN.com. It takes a while for us to digest, but it’s part (of the sport).
Jose Also has broken his silence after his brutal defeat at the hands of Conor McGregor.
Despite losing to Aldo himself in 2013, many feel Edgar has the rounded skill set needed to nullify McGregor’s power and reach advantages at featherweight.
But if he wants a shot at the lightweight belt, he’ll have to fight UFC president Dana White for the right to keep the featherweight title at the same time. “Only 13 seconds”, he said. But, man, it’s hard to know if it’s (his) success or (my) mistake.

McGregor had predicted he would beat Aldo in the first round in the build-up to the fight. Despite all of the Irishman’s brash chatter, the performance over Aldo silenced the doubters.
The swiftness of the result, however, didn’t stop a teary-eyed Aldo from demanding a rematch.
‘Maybe that and then July, UFC 200. The fight was the culmination of two and a half years of hard work in the Octagon from McGregor as he fought his way to the top, always with complete conviction that he would eventually become champion. For now, Aldo will be using this time to rest, reflect and regroup.
“We need the rematch because that was not a fight, so we need to get back in here”. I really don’t care what he says and we’re going to have to come back here.
Although it was a long shot even before McGregor came out victorious, it was understandable that Edgar would have to wait a bit for his turn. That makes us stronger. “Tell me one other champion who has been like that”, he also said.
“If Rousey is granted an immediate rematch I would expect the same treatment for Aldo”, Jones wrote on Twitter. “I believe there are many great fighters”.
