Jose Aldo is grumpy. Maybe it’s because reporters are asking him about his pay relative to Conor McGregor, or because Conor has been acting like a petulant instigator for a world tour promoting their fight that everyone will forget about after this footage is released until fight week (or a two weeks out). It’s a rough life for the champ, who has been nothing but awesome for the entirety of his career. Why is Jose Aldo pooped on? Why don’t people give him credit?
He’s beaten wrestlers. Good wrestlers that will likely beat Conor. And still he has to deal with this? That’s probably how he felt when Conor McGregor tugged on his coat, which Dana White called a “slap to the back” (Dana also thinks Ireland is part of the UK). It made Jose trip out. It’s a weird situation, transcribed by MMA Fighting:
“We went to a studio early in the morning for a live show, and we already stared at each other as soon as (McGregor) arrived,” Aldo told UFC. “I was sitting in the couch with Dana, and he sit behind me. He pulled my jacket, so I immediately stood up. Dana turned, separated us and apologized. There was no slap. He pulled my jacket. That’s what happened. It looks like Dana said that he slapped me, but he didn’t even see it.”
This is who Conor is making angry:
