Lasting just 13 seconds, McGregor’s win was the shortest world title fight in UFC history. Moreover, the feat was achieved by the perceived underdog in just 13 seconds.
“I would like to go up and fight for that 155-pound belt and replicate what I’d done [while with Cage Warriors] and get that two weight belt”, said McGregor. That is, McGregor managed to undo the months of training of Aldo in a blink of an eye.
Aldo hopes his status as the division’s only other champion – he had held the belt for five years since its inception – will mean a rematch with the Irishman is not hard to sort out.
Jones, who was stripped of his UFC title earlier this year following a Driving Under the Influence arrest, still feels Aldo and McGregor can be the epic throw-down we all expected.
That can happen to anyone in a combat sport, and Aldo is is right that the main event of UFC 194 wasn’t really a fight. Aldo, for his part, quickly called for a rematch.
“If Rousey is granted an immediate rematch I would expect the same treatment from Aldo”, Jones wrote on Twitter. The loquacious Irish brawler goaded Aldo throughout the promotion of their delayed bout, only to back up every word he said. Sports. “And I also remember when I came in, how I tried to punch”.
Jose Aldo is coming off the biggest loss of his career, and now he wants his revenge.
‘It wasn’t this time, but we will come out victorious, for sure’.
It was a lot of smack talk to a man who had been undefeated in the sport for 10 years, defending his belt seven times on previous occasions. If it’s God’s will, I’ll come back stronger and conquer (the belt) for you.
“You’ve had some awesome fights and a wonderful reign as a champion and I look forward to seeing you inside the Octagon again”, Rogan said. He says he wants to fight the lightweight champion, whether Cowboy Cerrone or Rafael Dos Anjos, in his next fight to collect a second belt. “I’m bringing these numbers, and sky’s the limit”, he added.
