Jose Aldo suffered the toughest loss of his MMA career Saturday, losing his UFC featherweight belt to Conor McGregor in just 13 seconds, and his longtime coach Andre Pederneiras has released a statement responding to critics.
I have a deep sense of loss at this moment. Not only because of Jose Aldo’s belt, but mainly because of the lack of respect to our great champion, who maintained the UFC belt for four years and seven months, for seven fights (not counting his almost two years and three fights with the WEC title). I got back (to Brazil) and saw comments from people that certainly don’t know anything about fighting.
