Some big decisions ahead…

While Jose Aldo may have called for a rematch with Conor McGregor following his 13 second defeat at the hands of the Irish man, it seems the UFC top brass don’t see that on the horizon.

Director of Public Relations with the UFC Dave Sholler announced at the post-fight press conference that there’s two possible scenarios facing Conor McGregor.

There have been rumours circulating about the difficulty Conor has in making the weight cut to 145 lbs, just have a look at what he had to cut yesterday.

McGregor can either decide to stay at featherweight and put his title on the line against Frankie Edgar, who knocked out Chad Mendes last night.

Or else he will vacate his belt, move up to lightweight and face the winner of Donald Cerrone and Rafael dos Anjos, who fight next weekend for the UFC lightweight belt.

Although, McGregor has different ideas about vacating his featherweight belt…
