Jose Aldo’s quest to reignite a war of words with Conor McGregor has taken an explosive new twist, with the Brazilian UFC star suggesting the featherweight champion was “like a kid getting slapped” in his loss to Nate Diaz on Saturday.
Immediately after McGregor’s loss, Aldo took to Twitter (Warning: Link contains NSFW language) to brand the Notorious a “p—y.” Now, in an interview with Sportv (h/t the Irish Independent), he revealed he was far from impressed by the efforts of his UFC 194 opponent:
I didn’t celebrate when he lost. It means nothing to me; they are two fighters constantly cursing at each other. People cheered; I’m happy for that. I think it was a moment of joy for Brazilians. He was slapped in the face. He looked like a kid getting slapped.
Some fighters have a lot of power, others don’t. He has soap hands. Of course anybody will go down with a punch to the chin. Even if a little kid hits you. He has soap hands. He is always punching, and nobody ever felt his punches. With me, they put a skateboard there for me to slip.
He couldn’t take it anymore. He wanted out. He’s a wuss. He fell down and quit right away.
