Jose Aldo suggests Conor McGregor could return to lightweight division

Jose Aldo has voiced his belief that Conor McGregor should consider a return to the lightweight division when he recovers from his knee injury. McGregor recently underwent surgery after suffering a significant injury just 69 seconds into his UFC 329 rematch against Max Holloway. Aldo noted that while the lightweight division is competitive, it remains open for McGregor to make an impact if he can successfully return to that weight class. He expressed hope for McGregor’s physical and psychological recovery, emphasizing that the Irishman has the frame to compete at 155 pounds. McGregor is expected to be sidelined for at least another year, potentially contemplating his return after August 2027.
