Aldo Gives Moraes Props But Disagrees With Decision
In an Instagram post, Aldo pulled up the statistics of his fight and questioned the decision.
“Respect always! But so far I’m trying to see where this result came from?!?”
During the UFC 245 post-fight press conference, Moraes explained why he believes the judges got it right.
“I think I won the first round. The second, I think he got it, and then the third, I think I got it,” Moraes said at the UFC 245 post-fight press conference. “And it was a close fight. I just fought Jose Aldo, you know? A lot of people judge and say, ‘Oh, man… it was a tough fight, close fight.’ Who did beat Jose in a split decision? Who did that? He only lost to five, six guys his whole career…longest featherweight champion. He beat all champions, contenders, you know? Hats off for him. But now, like I said, it’s my time, and that’s it.”
