Jose Aldo’s reign as featherweight champion lasted six years as 25 days, from a dominant win over Mike Brown to win the WEC championship to his UFC 194 loss against Conor McGregor in Las Vegas.
"It still is too hard to digest," Aldo told Combate a day after losing to "The Notorious" in just 13 seconds. "We trained hard, did everything right, and the result wasn’t positive. It takes a while for us to digest, but it’s part (of the sport). It’s a sport and we have to accept."
Aldo admits he already watched the fight, and also remembers his decision to attack with a combination, creating an opportunity for McGregor to counter.
