While many will feel disappointed for Conor McGregor this morning, others were waiting for the Notorious to crumble.

And leading the charge against McGregor was his nemisis Jose Aldo, who posted a scathing tweet within minutes of McGregor's second round submission to Nate Diaz at UFC 196.

Jose Aldo has had revenge on the brain ever since the plucky Conor McGregor captured the UFC Featherweight title last year and brought Aldo's 10-year unbeaten run to an end. 

A rematch had been touted from soon after their encounter at UFC 194, a proposition which Conor McGregor welcomed at the time. And while he intends to return to the Featherweight division to defend his crown, Aldo's tweet has brought out a different colour in Conor McGregor.

Speaking at the post-fight press conference, McGregor said:

''He had an opportunity to show up here, and he didn't. He could be sitting where Nate is sitting right now. He was the first choice. He said ‘any time, any place, anywhere.’ And then, it wasn’t ‘any time, any place, anywhere. Now, another man gets a victory over me, he celebrates it. That’s the sign of a loser. That’s the sign of a runner-up. That’s not the sign of a champion.''
