Jose Aldo is ready to take another fight and put his devastating KO loss to Conor McGregor behind him. His only condition is, it'll have to be a title fight.
As he told Portal do Vale Tudo, the former champion doesn't care who will it be against since McGregor will move up a weight class to fight lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos, but he won't accept any fight without a belt on the line. He also says that UFC president Dana White told him he'd fight Frankie Edgar next.
"Right after the fight, Dana walked in the locker room and told me my next fight would be a title eliminator against Frankie Edgar because Conor was moving up to lightweight as he was struggling to make weight. Of course I want a rematch with him, since there was no fight. None of us fought, he just connected one good punch and that was it. Cool, congratulations, but that wasn't what people expected. I live for tomorrow, though. If it's a rematch or a title fight, it doesn't matter, I know we will fight again and I know I will win. I know I'm capable. For my next step, I don't see another fight and I also won't accept a fight that isn't for the title."
Jose Aldo was knocked out in 13 seconds by Conor McGregor at UFC 194, on December 12 in Las Vegas. It was his first loss since 2005 and also his first ever KO defeat.
