Aldo has had his ups and downs since his loss to Conor, and if I were someone close to Aldo, I'd tell him that he's done all he could in this sport. It's unlikely he'll be getting a title shot soon against Holloway, if ever, and the other featherweights aren't too shabby and a loss to a lesser name would just tarnish his image.
Going out with a win against someone like McGregor who's on a decline, socially and ranking, would put a solid notch on his legacy.
And Conor just seems to be living a delusion. From his unacceptable behavior and recent jittery interview.. I can't imagine Conor doing well in the near future. He seems to have zero momentum going for him right now. Actually, he's got weights holding him down. Conor will have to drastically bolster his fight game persona. That old Conor who we loved and hated is just not plausible at the moment. With Aldo's stock also on a decline, it would make sense to pit these two together. Probably won't do the craziest numbers, but there's no way Conor can come back to a title shot after all his drama and absence.
