Jose Aldo fought his first-ever boxing bout two weeks ago and during the post-fight press conference in Milwaukee made some aggressive comments about his former opponent, Conor McGregor.
Recently while talking with Trocação Franca, Aldo shared details on making up with McGregor and clearing the misunderstanding. According to the former UFC featherweight champion, he was not good in his mind when he was asked questions about McGregor and snapped. The fighter mentioned that after realizing it later he called McGregor and apologized to him.
He said: “I was a little heated. I had just re-watched the match in the locker room and I had won, everybody said it, and right after that a reporter asked me [about McGregor’s comments], and I hadn’t seen what Conor had said. I called him names, and laughed a lot, because of that. But when I got to Brazil, I messaged him apologizing because I saw it wasn’t his intention to challenge me, he was trying to give me a push. I misunderstood [his intentions]. But we’re cool again. Conor is my friend. I wish him all the best.”
McGregor and Aldo had a fierce rivalry back when they were fighting in the featherweight division. However, over the years both fighters have grown and developed their relationship.
