Jose Aldo: Loss to Alexander Volkanovski ‘hurt a lot more’ than Conor McGregor KO

RIO DE JANEIRO — Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo gives an update on his weight cut for UFC 245, which marks his debut in the bantamweight division against Marlon Moraes on Dec. 14, and explains why this is his “ideal” weight class in MMA.

The Nova Uniao star also discusses his title aspirations, why his loss to Alexander Volkanovski hurt more than his quick knockout defeat to Conor McGregor, why he would rather get a third fight with Max Holloway than a rematch with “The Notorious,” and revealed the new plans for his MMA career, possibly fighting for seven more years.
