A Painful Defeat for José Aldo
When we talk about painful defeats within UFC, we cannot ignore the one suffered by José Aldo against Conor McGregor. This may have been the most painful defeat in the Brazilian fighter's career. Not only because it happened 13 seconds into the fight, but because of all the rivalry behind the match.
Because the truth is, the Irish fighter knows better than anyone how to get into the minds of his opponents, he manages to anger even the calmest fighter and make them lose their heads. This is why Scarface is more focused than ever on regaining the UFC Featherweight Championship.
Not only to defeat his greatest rival of recent years or the one who ended his decade-long undefeated streak, but because of who Conor McGregor is. Now, after a lot of talk, José Aldo has spoken again during the premiere of the movie based on his life, "Mais forte que o mundo".
During the brief interview, he is asked if the movie could have a sequel telling the story of when he defeats The Notorious and becomes Champion once again. The Brazilian fighter is clear that it would be a great story. He affirms that he is focused on regaining the title and that he will claim it when he defeats Frankie Edgar.
It is planned that the Brazilian and the American will face each other on July 9th at UFC 200: Cormier vs Jones, for the UFC Interim Featherweight Championship. Like all interim titles, winning it guarantees you a shot at the real title.
