Never mind that he just won his 11th fight in a row, having gone down to Brazil and handed Jose Aldo just his second loss in 21 fights to unify the UFC featherweight championship on Saturday night.

At the UFC 212 post-fight press conference in Rio de Janeiro, the new champ was prepared to talk about the one who walked away.
