Money and marketing, at least for Conor. If he wins he's a two weight champ, holding two belts at the same time, never before done in the UFC. He wants to defend his FW title then against Aldo in a huge PPV as a dual champ in Ireland making Bill Gates money.He should Defend or drop the title. I don't see an inbetween.
Although they had the biggest rivalry in MMA in 2015, Jose Aldo says he actually doesn't dislike Conor McGregor. As he revealed to TV show "Revista Combate", the former UFC featherweight champion says he even has a friendly relationship with Conor.
"It's a friendly relationship. I don't have a problem with him trying to promote himself. If we take a look at it money-wise, it was pretty good. I think there should be more fighters like him at featherweight. I'm not his friend, though. He can go his way and I can go mine."
Furthermore, Aldo says McGregor is usually a mellow person, and only becomes his outgoing self when in front of the cameras or around his own countrymen.
"I've seen him staring at a wall, looking at nothing with everyone around him trying to taunt him and he would just stand there, gazing. He's a regular, mellow guy, but if he sees a camera or some Irish people, he transforms in a such way that makes you say to yourself 'son of a bitch'".
"One day we were hanging out and he said he was going to get the coffee and I said I wanted mine with sugar and he said something like 'nice'. Most of the times we met, there was always someone recording us, though, so he had to keep his persona up. With no cameras, he changes completely."
Jose Aldo recently became the UFC interim featherweight champion, when he defeated Frankie Edgar by unanimous decision, at UFC 200.
Yeah, except he doesn't do it in 90% of his posts with a laundry list of different fighters.@SupermanIsAMcGregorFan, that kind of hate? ^^^^
Wow, this must be the dumbest post I have seen in a very long time.Fuck Conor McGregor. If he doesn't defend his title, then he's a fucking pussy. If he feels he can make more money elsewhere, then he should drop the title and move on. In the last 2 fights out of his division, he got destroyed, and then looked like shit (I honestly don't see how people think McGregor/Diaz 2 was a great fight.) Who the fuck has McGregor fought to deserve special considerations? The gate keeper Mendes, who's suspended for growth hormones (big fucking surprise), Aldo with a lucky punch, and Diaz by a decision that hung in the balance by 1 round.
Hope this fight doesn't happen, or if it does, I hope Alvarez KO's him bad.
That's what his supporters said about his fight against Dos Anjos. And his fight against Diaz. AND his immediate rematch against Diaz.If he loses to Alvarez he can still fight Aldo.
You've got to be kidding about McGregor Diaz 2 not being a great fight? How can someone hate a fighter so much that they believe all this? You can't be on board with this can you Nebraska?Fuck Conor McGregor. If he doesn't defend his title, then he's a fucking pussy.

Not that it wasn't a great fight to watch. But when you leave a div for $$$ fights and still want to hold the title.You've got to be kidding about McGregor Diaz 2 not being a great fight? How can someone hate a fighter so much that they believe all this? You can't be on board with this can you Nebraska?
I want to see the Aldo rematch, but I want to see him fight anyone. It's nice that a champ fight 3 times a year. Too bad it's not in his division.
To the death Nebraska. That's what I love about you. You'll go to the death.Yeah, except he doesn't do it in 90% of his posts with a laundry list of different fighters.
That's called The Al Bundy selfie
The first 2 rounds were exciting, with McGregor absolutely dominating for a round and a half, and then Diaz battering him with no defense from McGregor, for the rest of the 2nd round. That shit was entertaining. The rest of the fight though. McGregor was too exhausted to do anything impressive for the rest of the fight. McGregor lost his KO power for the rest of the fight, and Diaz has never really had much of a KO power. I just wasn't entertained after those first 2 rounds, and that's not just on McGregor, it takes 2 to tango.You've got to be kidding about McGregor Diaz 2 not being a great fight?

I've said since he won the title that he needs to defend it. With that said, the last thing Conor McGregor looks like is a pussy.Wanting to fight 3 times in a row in divisions other than the one he holds a title in, without ever defending the title even once, makes him look like a pussy.
Short term is the safest and possibly the smartest bet in a sport where your star's career can be over any day.Perhaps a stipulation that Conor MUST fight Aldo next if he is ever to take a title shot is the only way I could swallow this pill. I think this fight is bullshit without fighting Aldo first.
The UFC has always been about short term gain in terms of matchmaking.
"Nice."Conor brought Aldo a coffee with sugar. Interesting.
