José Aldo deserves a rematch more than Ronda Rousey does
“He wanted to fight Jose Aldo and then move to 55 and then fight for that title”.
As Pederneiras told Combate, Aldo was not phased by McGregor’s taunts at all, either. “That’s ok. I already accepted it. Now I’ll go back to the gym, train harder and bounce back”. It takes a while to digest, but part.
This however was the exact outcome of the fight where McGregor landing a well timed and accurate left hook 13 seconds into the fight.
When you add it all together – or, even more impressively, break it down to earnings per second for the 13 seconds the fight lasted – it’s a stunning take for a night’s work.
Jose Aldo wants a rematch with Conor McGregor and admits he is finding it tough to come to terms with Saturday’s 13-second knockout defeat. “He got me with a good shot and was able to finish the fight”. According to Aldo, he has the “right” to have the rematch. “Not only me but my career speaks for itself”, Aldo said.
The UFC brass would prefer to protect their investment and ensure that McGregor makes it to the biggest pay-per-view of all time, but the man himself is having none of it.
Conor McGregor is declared the victor by knockout and crowned champion against Jose Aldo during UFC 194 at MGM Grand Garden Arena December 12.
The UFC’s featherweight division is for fighters between 135 and 145 lbs, while the lightweight division goes from 145 to 155 lbs.
It was not soon after the fight when McGregor took to the mic with his “Mystic Mac” gimmick, declaring he foresaw the first round victory. “It’s a sport, we have to accept. Not only from wins you live your life”. He also said that he thought a rematch was in order because “it was really not a fight so we need to get back in here”.
The 27-year-old is also arguably the biggest featherweight in the division and has a frame that’s more befitting for the lightweight class.
“You’ve had some wonderful fights and an awesome reign as a champion and I look forward to seeing you inside the Octagon again”, Rogan said.
