McGregor was present to share his thoughts after Aldo’s boxing match with Jeremy Stephens on social media, as is frequently the case when people with whom he has a history compete. However, unlike many other times, there were to be no insults exchanged; instead, the Irishman only proposed that he and Aldo share the ring.

Aldo attacked McGregor shortly after, using foul language, suggesting that the message got lost in translation somewhere along the line. He made the implication that his erstwhile rival had been “talking sh*t” at that time.

Aldo said “I was a little heated,” “I had just re-watched the match in the locker room and I had won, everybody said it, and right after that a reporter asked me [about McGregor’s comments], and I hadn’t seen what Conor had said. I called him names, laughed a lot, because of that. But when I got to Brazil, I messaged him apologizing because I saw it wasn’t his intention to challenge me, he was trying to give me a push. I misunderstood [his intentions]. But we’re cool again. Conor is my friend. I wish him all the best.”
Over the past several years, Aldo and McGregor have developed a warm friendship that is uncommon given that they previously engaged in one of the most intense and significant rivalries in UFC history. Aldo, who gave up MMA and is now a full-time boxer, said he’s “super open” to going to Ireland to train with “The Notorious.”
