"I'm already frustrated. With all these things happening, I'm already really frustrated. Let's see what happens." "Every night I ask God, 'please give me another chance. Let me get in the Octagon against him (McGregor). I know it will be different this time.'"
If McGregor takes a fight in another division next, the Dubliner will more than likely be forced to vacate his title, meaning Aldo will once again be the undisputed featherweight champion. Should that day arrive, the Brazilian has a preferred opponent to defend his title against - former lightweight champion and newly-established featherweight contender Anthony Pettis.
"But if it doesn't happen, I'd rather fight Pettis. I think nowadays, I learned a few things with them. There's more than just the ranking like, 'there's a ranking order for title shots.' No. I have to tend to the business side too. I think a fight against Pettis will sell a lot more than one against Holloway."After going on a three-fight skid at 155, Pettis dropped down, had a successful featherweight debut and rose up to sixth in the 145 lb rankings. Following his submission win over Charles Oliveira, Pettis called out Holloway because, hinting that the Hawaiian was ahead of him in the queue. Aldo's comments suggest "Showtime" may be next in line though and the prospect of being passed over once again isn't sitting well with Holloway. https://twitter.com/BlessedMMA/status/775833697052274688 Listen to The GAA Hour live in Castlebar with Brendan Devenney, James Horan, and Pillar Caffrey.
