Frankie Edgar: Jose Aldo ruined by 'embarrassing' loss to Conor McGregor, gets finished in three rounds

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion and top-ranked featherweight contender Frankie Edgar believes he's a much different fighter than he was when he first competed against Jose Aldo at UFC 156 back in 2013.

He's also convinced "Junior" changed too, albeit for much different reasons.

Chief among them is his "embarrassing" knockout loss to Conor McGregor last December, which ended the fight before it ever got started. How well the Brazilian can rebound when he makes his mixed martial arts (MMA) return later this week remains to be seen, but Edgar has already called his finish.
