Jose Aldo feels he had a good excuse for skipping Conor McGregor’s UFC 189 win

He won't get any argument from us.

Jose Aldo was supposed to be defending his UFC Featherweight belt on July 11. Instead, he was back in Brazil and nursing some fractured ribs. Aldo is fighting fit again and is slated to fight Conor McGregor in a Featherweight division unification bout, on December 12, in Las Vegas. The promotional push for UFC 194 kicked off in a relatively low-key fashion, last night, when both fighters met up for a face-to-face snap, and to speak with MMA journalists. Many of the questions Aldo faced were about McGregor's UFC 189 win over Chad Mendes. The Brazilian claims he was watching football with friends when McGregor was proving to the world that he can walk the walk. https://youtu.be/XOU17Mle-fo
