Aldo: McGregor was scared to see me on TUF set
Jose Aldo: “[Conor McGregor] came to shake my hand. He’s a clown. He saw me and became scared. With his pants torn, embarrassing himself.”
Jose Aldo recently spoke to the media and recalled a story of running into future opponent Conor McGregor on the set of the Ultimate Fighter:
The Brazilian champion flew from Rio de Janeiro to Las Vegas to talk to the media a week before and visit the set of The Ultimate Fighter, where McGregor was coaching a season opposite Urijah Faber. According to Aldo, “The Notorious” wasn’t expecting to see him there.
“He was surprised when he saw me,” Aldo said at the press conference. “Another day goes by and I see him as a clown. He likes to make people laugh, and everybody likes to listen him talk to laugh at his face. He was scared when he saw me, he wasn’t expecting for this surprise.
“He came to shake my hand. He’s a clown. He saw me and became scared. With his pants torn, embarrassing himself. He’s sh-t. He saw me and came to shake my hand. I think he’s funny. I like to laugh, and he makes me laugh. I’m waiting and preparing to fight. I know I’m going to win. I have to laugh at him, that’s what I have left right now.”
