Aldo believes McGregor should be remembered for taking the sport of mixed martial arts to the next level.
“What he did for the sport and what he won. If I fight Floyd Mayweather and make 80 million dollars, the UFC would never see me again too.” Aldo told Portal do Vale Tudo (via MMAMania). “Do you really think I would train multiple martial arts three times a day? He had a brilliant career, he was a great fighter and if he really is retiring, I congratulate him for all he did in the sport.”
