UFC News: Conor McGregor praises Jose Aldo for successfully making weight ahead of UFC 245

This past Friday morning, former UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo successfully made weight when he hit the 136-pound limit ahead of his fight against Marlon Moraes at UFC 245.

In doing so, Aldo silenced all his doubters who initially worried if he would make the 136-pound scale for his Bantamweight debut. One man who was also quick to react to Aldo making weight successfully was non-other than his former foe Conor McGregor, who took to Twitter and praised 'Junior'.

Almost four years ago at UFC 194, McGregor solidified his place as one of the greatest Featherweights to ever step foot in the UFC when he ended Aldo's decade-long unbeaten run by knocking the latter out cold within 13 seconds of their title fight.
