Conor McGregor Joins Ronda Rousey On The Cover Of ‘UFC 2’

While Aldo’s pride was absolutely bruised, the shot was so ideal, and the fight so brief, that it isn’t out of the question to run it back.

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

Indeed, McGregor reigns atop the featherweight division and the sport after a remarkable 2015.

“We spoke (with Dana White) right after”. Aldo fell to the mat and after a couple of McGregor hammer punches, the fight was suddenly over as quickly as it began.

And speaking at the post-fight press conference, McGregor added: “If they offer me Croke Park, or if they offer me the football [Aviva] stadium, you’re damn right I’m gonna take it”.

Already the record holder for the fastest knockout in a title fight in Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) history, Conor McGregor now aims to bring his sport to another level, at least in terms of pay-per-view (PPV) numbers. With a lot of fans expecting an action-packed tiff, the ideal and precision timing that McGregor landed on Aldo was something no one had expected.

The big talk after Conor McGregor’s huge win over Jose Aldo at UFC 194 on Saturday in Las Vegas was what’s next for “The Notorious”.

Aldo hopes his status as the division’s only other champion – he had held the belt for five years since it’s inception – will mean a rematch with the Irishman is not hard to sort out.

“I’ll tell you one thing that won’t be happening”, said McGregor. “The trash talking didn’t affect me, I don’t care what he says”, he said. “I knew he would overextend and I knew I’d catch him so Mystic Mac strikes again”. “When I go up to lightweight and I take that lightweight belt, I will still be the featherweight champion”.

“He’s never gonna wait until July”, Kavanagh admitted.

“I’m his Kryptonite”, Edgar said.

McGregor takes in the crowd after the fight.

“If Conor decides to stick around and fight Edgar, then Jose would fight somebody else”.
