New interview in Portuguese:
http://sportv.globo.com/site/combat...viu-luta-de-mcgregor-fico-vendo-sexy-hot.html
Cliffs:
- watched PPV porn instead of UFC 196 (channel called "Sexy Hot")
- is informed by the interviewer that the interview is being recorded and the porn comment will be published, is fine with that because it's the truth
- says he knew Nate was going to win, predicts that McGregor will be "left with nothing" by the end of the year
- argues for the rematch over Edgar by saying that Edgar "already had 3 matches back to back with one guy, and two with another" and that he himself has a higher claim to rematching McGregor
- says that he respects Edgar, thinks he's a good fighter
- would like Edgar to be his first defense after regaining the belt
- Does not want to change "anything except the result" in his rematch with McGregor
- calls the KO punch " an act of fate", likens it to "the passing of Halley's Comet by the Earth"
- sees his career as following that of GSP, who lost the title and regained it consecutively
- says that he doesnt take any pointers from Nate's performance to implement in the rematch and claims that he already knows everything he needs to beat McGregor
I chose the headline because it matches up well with the soapy hands comment.
As usual, Aldo has a weird sense of humor that makes it very difficult to judge at what points he's serious in this interview and where he's taking the piss, esp. in translation.
