Conor McGregor was apparently one of the many spectators who saw Saturday night’s UFC card in Fortaleza, Brazil unfold. Right after the fight, “The Notorious” gave props to how the event unfolded, while also stating that he was close to finalizing a fight in Rio de Janeiro in 2018, which was supposedly against Rafael dos Anjos.
McGregor’s statements were brought up during Aldo’s post-fight media scrum, which the former 145-pound champion entertained by another call for a rematch. However, he intends for it to happen outside of the 145-pound division.
“If I have that opportunity at the division above, that way I won’t have to suffer through the weight cut, I think it would be a great fight,” Aldo said through an interpreter.
