Former duel-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor proposed a potential combat sports rematch with Brazilian foe, Jose Aldo off the back of the veteran’s professional boxing return last night – with the Dubliner’s offer immediately rebuffed by Aldo.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, is slated to return to the Octagon later this year in a welterweight matchup against the #5 ranked lightweight contender, Michael Chandler, with the duo featuring as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 31.
As for Aldo, the Manaus fan-favorite ended his lengthy Octagon tenure last year, retiring from mixed martial arts competition with immediate effect, as he looked to embark on a career in professional boxing.
