Aldo's desire to be the lightweight champion again and McGregor can regain the lightweight belt against Khabib Nurmagomedov. If that happens, a rematch could happen in a superfight between the former rivals.

“Happy ending, perfect! God hear you, that would be the happy ending! We beat Conor and returned to end with a draw (…). That's what I say to Dedé: 'This is going to happen', but Dede is very realistic: 'No, that's only in your world'. And I say it could happen, I throw it in the air so it can happen”, said Aldo.

Aldo still has three fights left in his contract with Ultimate, his desire is to win the belt and still finish his career that began in 2004 in Brazil.

“I have three more fights. I'm counting down to end my career. The objective is for us to fight for the title. If I won, I would say goodbye at home, in Brazil. It would be beautiful, it was where I started and where I wanted to end” – concluded the former champion.
