Frankie Edgar: Aldo is trying and failing to imitate McGregor with trash talk

Frankie Edgar rips Jose Aldo ahead of their championship rematch at UFC 200.

Since losing the featherweight title to Conor McGregor at UFC 194, we've seen a new side to Jose Aldo.

'Scarface', who ruled as 145-pound king for six years in the WEC and UFC, has been surprisingly vocal in the aftermath. The Brazilian has called out McGregor at every turn, recently opting to fight the Irishman 'in the streets', and has also targeted Frankie Edgar with his new-found trash talk.

Edgar, who will rematch Aldo for the interim FW title in the co-main event of UFC 200, believes the former champion is trying to take a page out of McGregor's book but claims he's not very good at it.
