According to Jose Aldo's long time coach and mentor Andre Pederneiras, the goal has always been a rematch with UFC sensation Conor McGregor.
Aldo, who ruled as UFC featherweight champion for four years, was dethroned by 'The Notorious' in just thirteen seconds at UFC 194. McGregor knocked out 'Scarface' in stunning fashion, capturing the featherweight title and then announcing his move up to the lightweight division, where he now reigns as champ.
Aldo, the formerly ranked No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, hoped to secure a rematch with a win over Frankie Edgar at UFC 200, but things didn't go according to plan.
