Wanderlei Silva is a fan of Jose Aldo. As such, "The Axe Murderer" would be very unhappy to see Aldo retire without fighting Conor McGregor one more time. As Silva told Combate, he believes Conor fears Aldo, and that he should keep on fighting, for all of his fans.
"McGregor fears Aldo, which is understandable,” Silva said. “I would be scared, too. Aldo is hands down the best fighter in the division and you can't just mess with someone like that. When you mess with a fighter like that, it's not about the money anymore. My dad used to say you don't mess with a man. So don't mess with Aldo. If you want his fans and his show, you need to respect him and not make empty promises.
"But if I could give Aldo a piece of advice today, it would be for him to calm down a think about his fans. He's still very young and has 10, 12 fights left in him and he can't leave his fans, like me, without that fight and many others he can still have. Besides, he can still bring a lot of joy to our country."
Most recently, Jose Aldo became the UFC interim featherweight champion when he defeated Frankie Edgar by unanimous decision at UFC 200. However, when the UFC announced a super fight between Conor McGregor and lightweight champion, Eddie Alvarez, Aldo felt disrespected and fed up with the UFC, and wants out of his contract. Aldo also has gone on record as saying that he wants to leave MMA altogether.
