UFC FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION Jose Aldo has showed up at tonight’s event at TD Garden in Boston to get a close look at the man likely to be his next opponent.
Provided Conor McGregor can defeat Dennis Siver, the Dubliner has been promised a title shot later this year.
Aldo had a dig at his outspoken rival by unveiling a poster which depicts McGregor as a jester and reads: “Go Joker, go… make me laugh.”
“I told him that he better win (tonight) because this is the fight I want so it better happen in the future,” Aldo told reporters this evening.
After speculation that Croke Park would host the title shot, Dana White poured cold water on the hopes of Irish fans by confirming that Las Vegas was being lined up. On the location, the Brazilian added:
“I don’t see any problems. Wherever the fight is, he’s going to bring his Irish fans and I’ll bring my Brazilian fans.”
Someone call the cops quick… There’s been a robbery in TD Gardens arena in Boston! It’s good to see the Irish guys winning but that was never Pendered’s fight. His reactions were slow, his arms looked like dead weights and he was throwing wild punches and kicks that never came close to connecting. I blame the logo on his trunks. The curse of the 42
Dodgy call there
Dodgy ? Yer man was robbed
Shocking call … I’d withdraw sponsorship.. the 42 !
I could throw a couch faster than his left
Ridiculous call, he looked so slow. He’ll do well to get on another card anytime soon. Hopefully he sees it as an opportunity to up his game.
