We’re still getting over Conor McGregor’s shock loss at the hands of Nate Diaz.
‘The Notorious’ came into the fight as an overwhelming favourite, with his opponent having less than two weeks to prepare after replacing the injured Rafael Dos Anjos at short notice.
But the UFC featherweight champ suffered his first defeat since 2010 via second round submission, and now needs to seriously consider his options.
Well, if he’s allowed to, that is.
Defeat to Diaz may put the ball back firmly in the court of Jose Aldo, the last man he beat at 145lb.
Aldo has already stated he wants his next fight to either be a title fight or a rematch with the Irishman, and he could ultimately get both at UFC 200.
The Brazilian former champ, top dog in the featherweight division and undefeated for 10 years before falling to McGregor inside 13 seconds, has laid down a marker for the man he wants to fight next.
See ya at #UFC200, @TheNotoriousMMA. Your fairy tale is over. You got nowhere to run now. Time to a rematch, pussy. pic.twitter.com/67fmic8qxG
