Jose Aldo Says UFC 194 Loss Is Too Hard To Digest

“Jose Aldo would fight somebody else”.

He also revealed that McGregor’s mental torture in the build up to the fight didn’t have any impact on the result.

For as much as McGregor talks, he was sure to get some predictions right.

UFC fighters immediately came out in support of both Aldo, and the new 145-pound king, McGregor. “I said he’d overload on his right hand, and that’s what happened”. At 27 years of age, I stand here, the unified world champion. “It’s been a insane, crazy year”.

However, there might be a more tempting offer for McGregor, a first title defence back at home at either Croke Park or the Aviva Stadium. “I’m bringing in these half a billion dollar revenues, like the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight has done”. I think every champion, after losing, and especially the way I lost – no excuses, I lost, he connected with a good strike and was successful – but, of course, I want a rematch. McGregor may look to fight the victor of that bout, but a wrist injury could force him to re-assess his plans. There was a suggestin of McGregor possibly waiting until July for UFC 200 to make his first title defense in the featherweight division, but coach John Kavanagh doesn’t think that’s a possibility at all.

After beating Aldo, McGregor confirmed he is interested in the move. If he has it his way, that goal of becoming a two-division champion may happen sooner rather than later.

He said: “Don’t get me wrong, it’s a tough weight cut but tell me one time I’ve missed it”.

They add that McGregor is a “myth fighter” and will continue to be until he is stopped in the octagon.

‘I understand why fighters have done that [before] because many fighters don’t fight as often as me, I stay busy.

He said: “All through the week I’m watching videos of the Irish going insane throughout Las Vegas… the Irish fans, you can’t beat them”.

McGregor is likely to make his decision based on money.

According to Dave Sholler, UFC vice president of public relations, the official attendance for UFC 194 was 16,516, with gate sales of US$10.1 million (AU $13.88 million), making it the biggest UFC event at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. “The true greats will always overcome adversity”. “I said one round”.

The loss ended Aldo’s seven-year reign as featherweight champion. Who comes in and predicts one-round KOs?
