When images of former featherweight champion Jose Aldo surfaced Wednesday, many fans took to Twitter to question his decision to drop to bantamweight. Coming to Aldo’s defense Friday was the unlikeliest of defenders: Conor McGregor . When ESPN reporter Ariel Helwani commented on Aldo’s appearance on Twitter, McGregor voiced support of his former rival’s decision to cut 10 more pounds. According to McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC), the 33-year-old Brazilian looks “more on top of it” and physically better.
