Conor McGregor he spoke, provoked, irritated the Brazilian fans, but he fulfilled what he promised. The Irishman did not know José Aldo and knocked out the former featherweight champion in a brutal way in just 13 seconds of fight at UFC 194, in the early hours of this Sunday (13), in Las Vegas. But after irritating his rival so much, the new owner of the linear belt changed his speech after the triumph and revealed what I had to the Brazilian before being announced as the winner.

Without provocation, McGregor showed humility and said he would accept a rematch against the Brazilian, as 'it wouldn't be nice' to see a dominant champion like Aldo being defeated like that.
“I said we can do it again. Of course I feel good about the knockout, but it's not nice to see the only champion in history fall like that. I just said we can do this again”, Conor.
The immediate rematch, however, should not happen. Dave Sholler, director of the UFC who took over the duties of Dana White, president of the franchise, in the interview, revealed what Conor's fighting options are in the octagon.
“McGregor has two options. Or does he stay (in the featherweight division) and fight with Frankie Edgar or he moves up in weight to fight for the belt (Rafael dos Anjos e Donald Cerrone face each other next week for the lightweight title). Of course, Dana doesn’t schedule fights like that, but those are the two options,” said the director.
