Jose Aldo får varmt mottagande i Brasilien

Jose Aldo förlorade i helgen UFC:s fjäderviktsbältet som har varit i hans ägo de senaste 4,5 åren, efter en brutal knockoutförlust mot Conor McGregor under UFC 194. Under torsdagen landade brasilianaren i hemlandet där han möttes av fans som hyllade honom på flygplatsen.

Still the people’s champion. That wasn’t a defeat. Dana White, rematch right away.

Today, fans from all over Brazil and Team Nova Uniao came to receive our champion of the people at the airport. And with the same sympathy whenever he received the affection, took pictures and gave interviews. Jose Aldo, congratulations, we know everything and will return with a comeback, bringing our Brazil again his belt! Dana White, rematch right away!!!

Det här hade Aldo att säga via ”Combate” på flygplatsen vid ankomsten:

What I’ve done in 10 years won’t be erased in 13 seconds. We win, lose, but learn in the defeat. We will be champion again soon. The next fight can be a rematch, so let’s stay focused.

I don’t know if it’s an immediate rematch or not. We’re talking. Conor wants to move up, he can’t make the weight anymore. Maybe he fights (at lightweight). The next fight can be a title fight with Frankie Edgar.
