Well, his team didn't want to. gently caress it, guys' the greatest fighter of all time, he can fight wherever he likes.

I'm still bummed Aldo didn't get a rematch with Conor. It would be way more of a fight the second time.

And that's why it will never happen.

I think a specific reason is he's fought almost nothing but 5 round fights for years and he just wanted 3 rounds.

Yeah Dana was asked about it and said he wanted him to main event, "but Aldo wanted a 3 round fight and you don't say no to Jose Aldo".

He's fun to listen to so I haven't been annoyed at all but a lot of the actual words coming out of his mouth have been wrong.

It's crazy that Aldo looks noticeably slower, yet he's still one of the fastest 'twitch' guys in the business.

There was an interview he said he’s retiring once he’s done with his current contract (3 fights including this one).

I think being close to retirement and fighting for fun is really good for Aldo. He’s looked good as hell lately and if he gets Pettis next, that’s a banger fight

I don't think he's shot or anything. I just really want a guy I like to retire early rather than late for once.

Anthony Pettis is going into a deep coma after the Thompson fight, so its unlikely.
