“There’ll be a belt on both shoulders. The belt will still be active because I am active”.
The Dubliner, who says he will decide his next move during the Christmas period, added: “I know the option is there for the 155lb lightweight belt”.
Conor McGregor reacts after defeating Jose Aldo at UFC 194 in Las Vegas. With Conor’s drive to beat a lot of UFC records, he would like to hold on to his featherweight championship and target the lightweight championship and become the UFC’s first multiple title holder. Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey got wrecked in her last outing against Holly Holm and will receive an immediate rematch at UFC 200.
The emotions were high for the Irish fighter, as his fellow countrymen packed the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
For his part, Edgar was hoping to get the nod as McGregor’s next opponent, possibly at UFC 198, which will take place on April 23, 2016. “They’re doing us proud”.
Aldo wants a rematch and McGregor seems to have indirectly agreed via the Daily Mail to such, seeing that he was caught up at the moment.
Congratulations to the staff at the UFC on a historic week in the sports history and an incredible 2015 for the company.
“No power, just precision”, he said of his striking.
McGregor produced an extraordinary knockout of defending featherweight champion Aldo on Sunday to walk away from Las Vegas as the new champion. “I would have preferred if it stretched out just a little bit longer for all that it has been through but I still feel the same process would have happened”, McGregor explained.
McGregor looked gaunt after weighing in on Friday but dismissed suggestions he can no longer make featherweight limit safely.
“He’s never gonna wait until July”, Kavanagh said. I stay busy. I stay fresh. It marked the first time in 10 years that Aldo had been defeated, and ended the 15 fight undefeated streak he began with the WEC back in 2008.
“I respect Jose, I wish him well but now we are on to the next chapter”.
