Ex-champ Jose Aldo knew he would lose eventually, but not to ‘(expletive)’ Conor McGregor

BAD MMA News — Fri, 13 May 2016 23:15:51 +0000

CURITIBA, Brazil – Jose Aldo is less salty about his loss to Conor McGregor now than in the months immediately following his UFC 194 title-fight defeat. However, he still has a grudge to settle with the man who took his UFC featherweight championship. Aldo (25-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) had his lengthy 145-pound title reign and 10-year unbeaten streak snapped in December when McGregor (19-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) knocked him out cold in just 13 seconds

Jose Aldo CURITIBA, Brazil – Jose Aldo is less salty about his loss to Conor McGregor now than in the months immediately following his UFC 194 title-fight defeat. However, he still has a grudge to settle with the man who took his UFC featherweight championship. Aldo (25-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) had his lengthy 145-pound title reign and 10-year unbeaten streak snapped in December when McGregor (19-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) knocked him out cold in just 13 seconds. Aldo has been very vocal about booking a rematch , but first must get through Frankie Edgar (20-4-1 MMA, 14-4-1 UFC) in an interim title bout at UFC 200 in July. Losing fights is a reality of MMA that no championship-level competitor has ever gone an entire career without experiencing

Romero, a 2000 Olympic silver-medal wrestler for Cuba, has won seven straight fights – all in the UFC – and was knocking on the door of a potential title fight after the victory at UFC 194

For Yoel Romero, the tainted supplement excuse works – kind of

Yoel Romero We were promised a new era of anti-doping efforts once the UFC joined forces with USADA. Now it’s starting to seem like that’s exactly what we’re getting, and maybe in some ways we never expected. Consider the case of Yoel Romero , the UFC middleweight contender who was branded a cheat after he failed an out-of-competition test shortly after his split-decision win over Ronaldo Souza at UFC 194. Romero insisted that the failure was caused by a workout supplement he was taking, one which listed no banned substances among its ingredients.
