Conor McGregor phoned Jose Aldo's private jet 'completely drunk talking s***'

Jose Aldo has recalled how Conor McGregor once called his private jet "completely drunk" and began "talking s***".

The Notorious defeated Aldo for the featherweight title back in 2015, ending the Brazilian's ten-year undefeated run in the process.

McGregor and Aldo travelled the world to promote the bout, which fell through in July before eventually going ahead in December of that year, with the Dubliner stopping the defending champion in just 13 seconds.

Although the pair were involved in fiery exchanges in the build-up to the fight, there now appears to be huge mutual respect between them, with McGregor recently describing Aldo as a "real legend" of MMA.

Recalling McGregor once calling his private jet, Aldo told the Portuguese-language Connect Cast podcast : "It was funny, because the guy [McGregor] drinks a lot.

"He drinks a lot. F*** yeah! He probably even likes to drink gasoline. Bro, he'd call our private jet completely drunk, just talking s***. F*** it was funny, he's a good person because he does understand the other side. He understands the other person. But he's a guy with a vision."

Meanwhile, McGregor has threatened to "go to war" with fellow ex-UFC champion Michael Bisping if the Manchester native doesn't back down in their recently reignited feud.

“All these little twerps wannabe actors now,” McGregor wrote. “Little twerps, There’s Only One Mac Daddy. Bad to the bone but with a good heart. Action with Jake [Gyllenhaal] or rom com with Sarah Jessica [Parker]. Bisping, 'member that show you were in. Yeah, me neither.”
