Morning Report: Urijah Faber feels bad for 'unlucky' Jose Aldo, but impressed with Conor McGregor's 'legendary' KO

Urijah Faber is angling for a rubber match with UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz, but he's still keeping an eye on 145 pounds.

Faber has fought, trained with or coached against all the major players at featherweight and admits he was disappointed to see longtime champion Jose Aldo dispatched so quickly by Conor McGregor.

McGregor knocked Aldo out in just 13 seconds during their Dec. 12 main event at UFC 194 to become the undisputed featherweight champion.

"I feel really bad for Aldo," Faber told Jonathan Shrager of Mixedmartialarts.com. "Conor wasn't lucky, lucky because obviously he's trained his butt off to get to the point where he can do that, but it was very unlucky for Aldo.
