Under natten lyckades fjäderviktsmästaren Jose Aldo försvara sitt bälte, då han besegrade Chad Mendes via ett enhälligt domslut i Brasilien. Efter mötet hade Aldo följande att säga om sig själv, Chad Mendes och Conor McGregor via nattens presskonferens:
My court is full now. I am the king, Chad is the prince, and there is a joker now. He’s a guy who just talks. He hasn’t fought anyone as tough as us. So to get here right now and talk, I’ve heard that a lot. Chael Sonnen did that a lot in his weight class, and now he’s lost, so he can talk as much as he wants.
We’re grounded, we have our feet on the ground. Chad and I, we know what the weight class is like. We’re athletes, we have to respect each other, we know that in there we make it happen, and that’s what we wanted to say.
He’s still very good. He’s got great potential and in the future, we could meet again. I hope that we have another great fight, that way our pockets will be always full.
Vem som står på tur för att möta Jose härnäst återstår att se, men McGregor måste först ta sig förbi Dennis Siver innan han kan få sin chans.
