Jose Aldo: Conor McGregor kan sitta full i en bar och visa låtsasbältet för sina vänner på Irland

Conor McGregor kommer inte att möta fjäderviktsmästaren Jose Aldo den 11 juli under UFC 189, istället tar han sig an Chad Mendes för att fightas om interimbältet i viktklassen. Nu har Aldo brutit tystnaden kring hela situationen, och han tycker inte att interimbältet har något värde.

Detta hade titelhållaren att säga via ”MMAFighting.com”:

For three months, I trained three times a day. I invested my time and money, bringing training partners from Brazil and other countries, to do the best training camp of my life so I would be ready to defend by belt for the eighth time on July 11. Unfortunately, I fractured my rib during a training session, which I can prove from an official medical report, and besides trying my best to fight, I was forced the other way and that made me really sad.

I couldn’t fight without being 100 percent physically and with a rib injury that could get worse if I got hit in the ribs. Many people told me to fight anyway because of the money I could make, but I wouldn’t sell myself for any money, no matter how much. I fight for love and I do it for my country. Money comes in second place. Money ends some day, but legacy and things you do becomes part of the history, and that’s what I value the most.

I’m the UFC champion since April 2011, defended my belt seven times in four years, and will do it for the eighth time in 2015, an average of twice a year. That why I can’t agree with UFC’s decision to have an interim champion in my division citing the five opportunities that I couldn’t defend my belt.

If he beats Chad Mendes, the only thing he will have is a toy belt to show his friends, drunk in his country’s bars, because that’s what an interim belt represents to me: a toy. I am the champion.

När vi kommer att få se Aldo tillbaka inne i oktagonen för att försvara sitt bälte återstår att se, men om McGregor vinner interimbältet kanske vi får se de båda kämparna i Dublin den 24 oktober.
