As the hour of Conor McGregor‘s comeback comes closer. Fighters are lining up to have a taste of the cage with McGregor. The Irish brat is arguably the biggest superstar that the UFC has ever had. A fight with McGregor is great for any fighter’s repertoire and purse alike. In a pre-fight media interaction, Jose Aldo, Alex Pereira, Charles Oliveira, and Rafael dos Anjos shared the stage. Jose Aldo named the fighters he thought should be in the cage against Conor McGregor when he comes back. Aldo said that his time had passed, but the ‘Poatan’ could be a possible opponent for McGregor.

Jose Aldo said, “He [Oliveira] got all that momentum, right? I think my time has passed so like I said ..both Poatan, he is huge and stuff USADA ain’t knocking at his door. He is big, 185 lbs, and Charles with 155 lbs. Up to 170 lbs. I think Charles can take him on.”

He was answering a question by a reporter who asked him, “Who should fight Conor McGregor?”. Aldo, however, did not name Rafael dos Anjos as someone he thought could go against the former double-division champ.
