Conor McGregor defends Jose Aldo, says he ‘looks more than on top’ of weight cut

Photos have recently surfaced of Jose Aldo preparing for his bantamweight debut against Marlon Moraes at UFC 245, and the Brazilian fan favorite looks much gaunter than his usual self.

ESPN’s Ariel Helwani raised concerns over Aldo’s physical health but, according to former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor, who KO’d Aldo to win the featherweight title at UFC 194, ‘Scarface’ looks to be in good shape.

‘The Notorious’ responded to Helwani via Twitter, where he defended Aldo’s decision to cut to 135-pounds.

I disagree here. He looks more than on top of it in my experienced opinion.
