Frankie Edgar was promised the title shot, and the UFC confirmed it was one of two options facing McGregor, the other being a move to lightweight in which case Edgar would fight Aldo for the belt.
Conor McGregor, right, lands a left punch on Jose Aldo, resulting in a knock-out stoppage after 13 seconds of round one.
Aldo has nearly always stayed above the fray when it comes to trash-talking. Less than two weeks before fight night, Aldo pulled out with a rib injury and was replaced by Chad Mendes in an interim title bout.
“I believe there are many great fighters, there are many people who do great things, but when you combine it all together and you combine the whole package, the whole animal that is the fight game, I don’t think there is anybody who does it better than me”, McGregor said. I said he would overload on his right hand.
“Jose has been a phenomenal champion”.

UFC President Dana White is on record saying that if McGregor beat Aldo, he would grant him a title fight in his home city of Dublin in the famed Croke Park stadium.
Luke Rockhold also claimed the UFC middleweight title with a bloody fourth-round stoppage of previously unbeaten champion Chris Weidman in front of a frenzied crowd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The champion fell flat on his face, stunned and stiff, and the challenger pounced with a couple of hammer fists before referee John McCarthy could jump in.
“I think it’s going to be an electric atmosphere”, McGregor said.
Rockhold’s thunderous attack was so brutal it appeared Dean had stopped the fight at what was instead the bell ending the third round. When I look into his eyes he’s confused, he doesn’t know where he is.
Romero is now undefeated under the UFC banner, last defeating Lyoto Machida at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Romero.
