"First of all, I thanked him for the fight," Aldo said at the post-fight press conference. "I think that I had to say sorry because I was getting in the way of his dreams."
Aldo is a shining example for young mixed martial artists when it comes to combining class and ferocious fighting skills, proving on several occasions that one can be a vicious competitor inside the Octagon as well as a respectful role model after the final buzzer.
