Florian and Bisping share knowledge on a Conor McGregor versus Jose Aldo rematch

By Russell Ess - December 28, 2015

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and veteran Matt Brown are in favor of the former UFC ranked pound-for-pound king Jose Aldo getting the immediate rematch with Conor McGregor. UFC Veteran Michael Bisping and former lightweight and featherweight title contender Kenny Florian recently shared their view about the topic (transcribed by Bloody Elbow):

“No! It’s hard to justify.” Florian said on an episode of UFC Now. “Even if Jose Aldo has been champion for so long, it is difficult to justify a rematch after a 13 second fight. The other issue, if we’re going to get logistical here, is that Jose Aldo hasn’t been the healthiest of fighters. He’s not the most reliable of fighters. So to go set up a rematch against a guy who hasn’t been the most consistent heath-wise, is a very risky thing to do.”

“And the other thing is, Conor, that may have been his last fight at 145 lbs,” he said. “He’s huge for the weight class, and as you see, anything he lands, he’s destroying people with. It’s possible we see him again at 145, but we don’t know.”

“I think with what Frankie Edgar has done, it should be Edgar,” Florian said.

“This is why Kenny, you get paid the big bucks and you commentate for Fox and the UFC,” Bisping replied with a laugh. “I was going to say ‘Yes! He should get a rematch, because Ronda Rousey is getting one and why shouldn’t he after being dominant for so long?’ But, after hearing your pitch, I was like ‘this guy talks a lot of sense! I completely agree!’ And I’ve never heard myself saying that about you before! No, offense.”

“No, he doesn’t (deserve it),” Bisping said.
