At UFC 194 Jose Aldo lost a mixed martial arts bout for the first time in over a decade and yesterday spoke to Combate about how it felt:
“It still is too hard to digest,” Aldo told Combate a day after losing to “The Notorious” in just 13 seconds. “We trained hard, did everything right, and the result wasn’t positive. It takes a while for us to digest, but it’s part (of the sport). It’s a sport and we have to accept.”
Aldo admits he already watched the fight, and also remembers his decision to attack with a combination, creating an opportunity for McGregor to counter.
“So, there wasn’t even a fight, right? Only 13 seconds,” he said. “And I also remember when I came in, how I tried to punch. But, man, it’s hard to say know if it’s (his) success or (my) mistake. It’s a quick decision, and he was able to connect a good punch when I tried a combination.”
