UFC legend Jose Aldo recalls Conor McGregor phoning his private jet while drunk

UFC legend Jose Aldo has retold how Conor McGregor once called him drunk while the Brazilian was travelling on a private jet to a promotional event.

The Irishman had a legendary feud with Aldo over the featherweight title in 2015, with the pair travelling the world to promote a doomed July bout before eventually meeting in December. McGregor defeated Aldo within 13 seconds when they eventually met, after an iconic build-up which produced one moment that wasn't captured on camera.

Since that fated fight, McGregor moved on to lightweight to become two-weight world champion as well as making a few brief stops up at welterweight. Meanwhile, Aldo reclaimed the belt before losing it to Max Holloway and moving down to bantamweight, where he finished out his career last month.
