Jose Aldo, Cris Cyborg reflect on what happened after quick title losses

Jose Aldo and Cris Cyborg share a few things in common. They both reigned at the top of the featherweight mountain in mixed martial arts for years and years, arguably the greatest of all times in their weight classes, and both lost their crowns in less than a minute.

The Nova Uniao star was unbeaten for a decade when Conor McGregor dropped him with a left hand to become the UFC titleholder in just 13 seconds. Cyborg, who also hadn’t been beaten since 2005, lost her gold in a 51-second knockout defeat to Amanda Nunes.
