Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo has been receiving some heat for a recent Twitter post in which the fighter offered a message on Conor McGregor’s recent TKO loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, Jose Aldo is now claiming it was not him who made the post in the first place.
Speaking to media on Friday, as transcribed by MMA Fighting, Aldo explained that he did not watch the event to begin with.
“First of all, I didn’t even watch the fight,” Aldo said. “I went to a football game, which is the No. 1 sport for me. I love it, so I didn’t even watch the fight or know what happened.
“There’s some people that take care of my social media, so I can’t even say what happened because I didn’t stop to watch the fight. I talked about it (that night) because I was surrounded by boxers, and they talked about the fight, but I haven’t watched it so I can’t comment on it.”
Following up on the statement, Aldo said “It’s tough. You know what every athlete has a company that handles his social media. So that’s it.”
