Conor McGregor defends Jose Aldos troubling weight loss and wishes former UFC rival well ahead of Marlon Mo – The Sun

Dec 7th, 2019

THE rivalry between Conor McGregor and old foe Jose Aldo may be a thing of the past if recent tweets by the Crumlin fighter are anything to go by.

McGregor's stardom grew exponentially after his emphatic featherweight win against the Brazilian back in 2015 when the bout ended in just 13 seconds in one of the most iconic moments in the sport's history.

Up to that point things had got heated between the two as they went on a press tour around the globe including stops in Brazil and Ireland.

But the bad feelings between the two may be a thing of the past.

Aldo has lost three times since then, including twice to Max Holloway, and has decided to drop weight to become a bantamweight.

Posting on Twitter, renowned MMA journalist Ariel Helwani was raised his concerns about Aldo's weight cut.

He said: "The first one [picture of Aldo] is very troubling. Still dont understand why Aldo is doing this."

It was met with a reply from the Irish fighter who supported his one time opponent. McGregor said: "I disagree here.

"He looks more than on top of it in my experienced opinion.

"Well trimmed in advance, and naturally a lighter man now.

"This can only be done over a long length of time and with complete dedication. Respect! I wish him well and am excited to see him in this division."

Helwani replied to the fighter, saying: "Fair enough. Respect. But, was it truly necessary at this stage in his career?

"What can be gained from a cut like this at this point? Prior to his last fight, a loss to the man who is fighting for the belt next week, he looked great in two straight wins/finishes."

McGregor could not let Helwani have the last word.

He said: "The rejuvenation of your career with fresh goals and targets!

"The prestige of being a UFC World champion in two weight divisions!

"The feeling of excitement you will give the fans with all the new potential match-ups that can be made!

"All great and valid reasons! Enjoy."
