What’s Next For Conor McGregor After KO’ing Jose Aldo?
We don’t know what exactly McGregor will do next, but we know he won’t be defending his title against Aldo.
It was just 13 seconds in the official history books, but for Conor McGregor, UFC 194 was a lifetime of work. I respect jose, I wish him well but we’re on to the next chapter. There are people who do great things.
“If you can see it, hear it and you have the courage to speak it, it will happen”, McGregor said. “I think we have to move on now and now I am waiting for a rematch and God willing next time I will be back much better trained and recover what is mine”.
Given the spectacular fashion in which he disposed of the most unsafe foe of his career, Jose Aldo, on the biggest stage of his fighting life, it is hard to argue with Conor McGregor on that point. If you truly believe in it. If you become vocal with it – you are creating that law of attraction and it will become reality. Tell my how many fights I’ve had in the past year? I say what I do now.
Those 13 seconds also made the Crumlin man rich beyond his wildest dreams and the breakdown of his earnings per second are unbelievable. I have many early stoppage wins. “I had a little moment where I felt sorry for Jose”, McGregor said.
This is what Aldo actually said: “He threw a jab on my chest, I was already expecting that”. He was now the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter on the roster, undefeated in 10 years, the company’s only featherweight champion.
‘I had a guy who was helping me with the structure of it [the weight cut] and I trusted the structure and the plan and the weight came off.
Prior to UFC 194, Aldo was the only UFC 145-pound champion in history.
UFC President Dana White told Fox Sports 1 that McGregor would receive an immediate title shot should he elect to move up a division.
“It didn’t affect me at all… we’ll have to come back”, he added.
‘I wasn’t considering leaving the featherweight division for good because I am the world champion, this is my division. This is my division. “I feel he could take a step back, re-center himself”, McGregor said.
“There’s no way in hell that I’m vacating my belt”, McGregor said.
“There’s options; and I make the decision on this. I’ve taken my game to a new level”, said Rockhold, who trains with current light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and ex-heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez in San Jose.
