Today Jose Aldo spoke to FOX Sports about what it was like watching Conor McGregor win the interim title and what the unification bout means to him:
“It was a sad moment but I’ve just got to stay positive and move forward. Now I’m happy that I’m training, everything is going well, camp was good and I’m just looking forward to the fight.”
As hard as it was to watch McGregor fight someone else, Aldo isn’t too concerned about the gold belt he’s toting around to press conferences and media obligations while calling himself champion.
Aldo knows — just like he wants the rest of the world to know — that there has only been one real featherweight champion, and it’s not Conor McGregor.
“First off, everybody knows that I am the champion. He’s just interim, he just walks around with a belt but everybody knows that I’m the real champion,” Aldo said. “I don’t worry about what he does but I’m going to go in there and when I win, then everything will go back to normal.
I believe he got to where he is just by talking. I believe he’s behind Chad (Mendes) and Frankie (Edgar). He got here by marketing himself.
