'You Got Nowhere to Run Now,' Aldo Calls for UFC 200 Rematch with McGregor

Well, that didn’t take long.

Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo was quick to social media to call out Conor McGregor following the Irishman’s UFC 196 loss to Nate Diaz. Aldo desperately wants to avenge that loss, and he clearly feels that the UFC 196 result will give him that chance. (Warning: Tweet contains NSFW language.)

McGregor unseated Aldo last December in emphatic fashion by putting Aldo to sleep in just 13 seconds. Having an immediate rematch with other title contenders waiting in the wings may be a tough sell, but there is no guarantee that McGregor even returns to 145-pounds.

In the days and weeks to come, McGregor’s future will clear up. He may drop back to featherweight to defend his title or make a permanent move to 155. Should he stick around at 145, Aldo’s chances at a rematch could be slim with Frankie Edgar’s presence looming over the featherweight title picture.

Nevertheless, Aldo took a well-timed shot at McGregor to make that rematch viable. UFC 200 would be a prime spot for a return to that rivalry.

Later, at the post-fight press conference, McGregor was asked about the tweets from Aldo. The Irishman was quick to respond, and made pointed remarks back at the former champion.

Fuel continues to be thrown onto the fire between the two stars.
