“You don’t want to see the only champion in the company’s history going out like that, so I had a little moment where I felt sorry for José”, he later added.
McGregor speaks at a post-fight press conference.
“If I go to that lightweight division, there’s no way in hell that I’m vacating my belt”. His most recent fight over the weekend with Aldo didn’t last long at all, with Aldo rushing into a fierce left hand that instantly dropped him unconscious.

Those 13 seconds also made the Crumlin man rich beyond his wildest dreams and the breakdown of his earnings per second are unbelievable.

“We have some options”. That makes us stronger.
During a weigh-in prior to the fight, there were concerns the two would swing at one another and they were later separated, according to Fox Sports. That’s ok. I already accepted it.
Edgar is coming off a first-round knockout of Chad Mendes on Friday at The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale.
Every fighter has a different routine and Fields himself says, “I go 30 hours without water”.
“Jose has been a phenomonal champion, my respect to Jose, I wish him well, and it’s on to the next chapter”, he said in his Instagram account. The belts will still be active, because I am active….
“It can get much, much, much, much better”. That could be for the featherweight belt; maybe a Jose rematch or [the] 155-pound strap.
Where should Conor McGregor compete next?
On the length of the fight: “So, there wasn’t even a fight, right?”

“If Rousey is granted an immediate rematch I would expect the same treatment for Aldo”, Jones wrote on Twitter. “When you bring in a $10.1 million gate, back-to-back MGM records, the pay-per-views that we’re bringing in here, it’s nothing but good business-times are good”.
