Faber: Conor McGregor Beating Jose Aldo Is Good For The Sport

Urijah Faber said in a recent interview that he thinks Conor McGregor beating Jose Aldo at UFC 194 would be good for the sport.

“Conor winning is f-cking good for the sport,” explained Faber. “People f-cking love that guy, so I think the big money fights would be with him as champion. So (a McGregor win) makes a lot of sense. But I really like Jose Aldo. It’s kind of a win-win for me.”

“Who’s the easier fight for some of my guys? I’ve gotta say Conor is. Aldo’s really, really well-versed with takedown defense. You saw Chad (Mendes) was able to take down Conor at will. So having Conor win is a good thing for the wrestlers in the division and the sport in general. And Jose Aldo is a legend.”
