Actor from TV series 'Vikings' defends Conor McGregor from Aldo's accusations on Twitter

British actor Clive Standen stood up for Conor McGregor when Jose Aldo said he imitated a character from the TV show. Standen also said they all wait for Conor's coronation.

Jose Aldo spared no words to blast Conor McGregor in a lengthy statement he released yesterday to talk about his withdrawal from UFC 189 due to a broken rib. Among many things the UFC Featherweight champion said about McGregor, the one that stood out was his comparison of the contender to a character from the historical drama TV show Vikings.

While Aldo claimed Conor wanted to be like Travis Fimmel, copying his haircut, tattoos and style, another actor from the show, Clive Standen, actually answered Aldo on Twitter, but his reply will hardly please Jose.
