Jose Aldo has revealed he and Conor McGregor are now friends despite once being bitter UFC rivals.
UFC legend Aldo, 36, was the No.1 target on McGregor's radar when the Irishman signed for the promotion almost a decade ago. 'Notorious' worked his way up the featherweight rankings and eventually landed himself a title shot against longtime champion Aldo, with the pair butting heads for months before their highly-anticipated fight in December 2015.
McGregor ended Aldo's decade-long unbeaten reign by knocking him out in just 13 seconds, setting a yet-to-be-broken record for the quickest finish in a UFC title fight. Seven years on from their grudge fight and Aldo has revealed that he and McGregor are good friends, often messaging each other on Instagram.
