After Jose Aldo defeated Chad Mendes at UFC 179 last month, many began calling for Conor McGregor to fight the featherweight champion.<\/p>\n

Fans began making posters (See that HERE<\/a>), and even trailers for the bout (See that HERE<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Despite McGregor being booked to fight Dennis Siver in January, talks of Aldo vs. McGregor continue to build. <\/p>\n

UFC middleweight Lyoto Machida spoke to MMAFighting <\/a> about a potential bout between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re going to compare him to Jose Aldo, Aldo is technically better. (McGregor) is a tough fighter, he\u2019s coming out strong, but you can\u2019t say he beats Aldo. Aldo is too dominant.”<\/p>\n

“He can promote himself the way he wants. I don\u2019t see (McGregor) as a bad person. He\u2019s right, he\u2019s promoting himself this way, and we have to respect him.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not my style to talk trash to my opponents. I have techniques to get (to a title fight) in a way that I think it\u2019s the right way. If you win fights convincingly, it makes it easier.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you agree with the former champ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
