Their heat has died down in the last four years and McGregor was one of the few who supported Jose Aldo in his move down to Bantamweight. When many, including Ariel Helwani, questioned Aldo’s decision - McGregor insisted that it was the right move and that he would do it well.
Though he wasn’t successful in his Bantamweight debut against fellow-Brazilian Marlon Moraes, many believe that he should have gotten the victory on the judges’ scorecards. When talking to the media (H/T MMA Fighting), McGregor praised Aldo for the work he put into making the Bantamweight move.
Regarding a potential rematch, he said: “You never know. Aldo’s coming back at me. Maybe, if he wants it.”
McGregor believes that Aldo was the better fighter at UFC 245 and should have gotten the nod from the judges.
It’s nice to see that McGregor didn’t rule out a potential rematch down the line. Though we don’t expect it to happen, it’s good to see the Irishman keeping it open-ended. Many believe that his resurgence could begin as the motivation he’s been showing is of a different kind than the one that made him the global megastar that he has become.
Hopefully, this is the start of another special run and we can see McGregor fight more frequently again. Will he be able to put away Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone at UFC 246?
