“But I think it’s too soon to talk”, Aldo said. It takes a while for us to digest, but it’s part [of the sport].

According to the Mirror, McGregor is claiming the UFC 194 fight went nearly exactly as he predicted it would happen.
Often fighters return to fighting fitness much earlier than the initial prognosis but if McGregor is forced to sit out some time it may mess up the plans for his future fights. “In case you’re curious, a more optimistic estimate for McGregor – say, a $5 PPV cut and 1.5 million PPV buys – would equate to almost $622,000 per second ($8 million total)”.
Jose Aldo is consoled in his locker room after losing to Conor McGregor.
Conor McGregor’s meteoric rise in the UFC is nearly unbelievable but it’s exactly what he’s been predicting all along.
McGregor pounced on the fallen fighter attempting to hammer fist him on the ground, but referee “Big” John McCarthy had seen enough and called the fight over crowning McGregor the first UFC Featherweight Champion not named Jose Aldo. “He threw a cross at my chest I wasn’t expecting”, Aldo said.
However, rather than retreating to lick his wounds, Aldo is already campaigning for an immediate rematch with his rival.
It was promised in that match against Faber that Edgar will someday get a title shot and this time around, UFC CEO Dana White is willing to deliver but McGregor seems to be bent over to moving up weight to 155lbs.
Conor McGregor improved his record to 19-2 after defeating Jose Aldo. “That was really not a fight so we need to get back in here”.
“I mean if you can see it here”, McGregor replied, pointing to his head, “and you have the courage enough to speak it, it will happen”.
He continued, “It wasn’t this time, but we will come out victorious, for sure”. “Everybody will get their shot against him”.
“I kind of said to him, ‘Well, what’s next?'” Kavanagh said.

“I think every champion, after losing, and especially the way I lost – no excuses, I lost, he connected with a good strike and was successful – but, of course, I want a rematch”.
