Jose Aldo urges McGregor to cut weight to 155 pounds after knee injury setback

Jose Aldo has advised Conor McGregor to return to the featherweight division at 155 pounds following a severe knee injury sustained during his July rematch against Max Holloway. Aldo believes McGregor’s current frame is better suited for the lighter weight class and notes that the featherweight division is currently unstable, offering a prime opportunity for a title shot. While McGregor’s coach suggests 170 pounds is a more comfortable cut, Aldo emphasizes the need for dietary re-education and physical recovery. The injury, which occurred seconds into the fight, has delayed McGregor’s return, with Aldo expressing sadness over the premature end of a highly anticipated bout.
