Jose Aldo reflects on KO loss to Conor McGregor: I never thought I would lose like that

No one expected Conor McGregor to flatten Jose Aldo in thirteen seconds at UFC 194, not after months of trash talk between the two men in the leadup to the bout.

But that’s exactly what happened. McGregor KO’d Aldo with a left hook in the opening exchange, setting the record for the fastest knockout in UFC title fight history and snapping ‘Scarface’s’ 18-fight win streak and title reign of four years.

Even now, four years on, Aldo is still baffled by the result and admitted to Cris Cyborg that he started having doubts about his chin after the bout.
