The rivalry between Aldo and McGregor began in 2015, when McGregor, an up-and-coming Irish fighter, began to taunt and insult Aldo, the reigning UFC Featherweight Champion at the time. Aldo and McGregor finally faced off at UFC 194.

Many fans expressed their view about the possibility of both fighters engaging in a boxing match. Given the history between the two fighters, fans were completely sold on the idea of the two MMA legends running it back inside the octagon. Check out some of the reactions from fans after the exchange between the fighters.

If a boxing match were to take place between McGregor and Aldo, it would likely attract a significant amount of attention from fans of both fighters. Although Aldo’s recent match ended in a draw, he demonstrated exceptional skills and athleticism that should not be overlooked. Despite having only recently started his boxing career, Aldo has proven to be a skilled and challenging competitor in the boxing world.

Following his departure from the UFC in late 2022, Aldo has competed in two boxing matches and currently holds a record of 1 win, 0 loss, and 1 draw(against Jeremy Stephens). He stated that he will be discussing his future plans with his management team. Still, he doesn’t seem to consider the possibility of having a rematch with Conor McGregor as a viable option.

Conor McGregor has been sidelined from fighting because of his brutal leg injury during his rematch with Dustin Poirier in July of 2021. Many people were unsure if he would be able to compete again. The announcement of Conor McGregor’s return revealed that he would be facing off against Michael Chandler. Many assume that the long-awaited fight will occur towards the end of this year.
