Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo has not had any good things to say about Conor McGregor since losing to him at UFC 194 back in December. While McGregor took just 13-seconds to bring Aldo’s dreams and records to a screeching halt, the Brazilian still does not have any respect for “The Notorious” and told media in Rio de Janeiro that he doesn’t see his glory lasting much longer. “I think it’s tough,” Aldo said when asked if he thinks McGregor can beat dos Anjos and go after the welterweight title next (transcribed by MMA Fighting). “And I’ll say this: I don’t think he will have any belt by the end of the year. And everyone will forget him. He has this dream, this goal, but you can be sure that he won’t have any (belt) by the end of the year.”

There seems to be some miscommunication between MMA legends Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock. The two pioneers of the sport are set to face each other in a rubber match at Bellator 149, which takes place on Feb. 19 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The rubber match will see who still has the edge now that the two men have aged many years since their initial fight back in 1993, which took place over 22 years ago. Gracie took just 57-seconds to submit Shamrock in their first match but fought to a draw in their second meeting in 1995, where Gracie says that Shamrock just held him down for 36 minutes.
