Jose Aldo defends Conor McGregor Did in Bellator 187

“I think it’s the heat of the moment, but there are also more important things than some rules,” Aldo said of the situation
Conor McGregor had a high profile altercation with referee Marc Goddard after the triumph of his partner Charlie Ward in Bellator 187 , and has faced criticism that his behavior was unprofessional. Who did not join the voices against “The Notorious”, however, was his rival Jose Aldo when asked about the issue: ” I did not watch the video but they told me what happened. I think it’s normal, “said Aldo during a media day at the Nova Uniao gym. ” He’s an emotional guy, and when an Irishman fights other Irish people, they support him a lot. I do not judge him.”

How many times did I invade Shooto’s cage because someone close to me was fighting? The referee talks to me but I still do, “said Aldo, who believes that the criticism against the UFC lightweight champion is unfair. One of the main voices against the Irish has been that of the president of the Association of Boxing Commissions Mike Mazzulli , who says that The Notorious will not be part of the end-of-year event of the UFC, but the Brazilian defends his rival.” I think it’s the heat of the moment, but there are also more important things than some rules.”

“He did not do it for attention, it’s something he has already done. Again, he is a very emotional person, “Aldo closed, speaking of those who accuse McGregor of having paid attention to the successful debut of his partner in Bellator. ” In The Ultimate Fighter, when an athlete on his team won he jumped the cage and even broke his pants. I do not judge him for what he did.”
