The announcement of Conor McGregor's headlining bout against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 looks to have been the final straw for Jose Aldo. Interim featherweight champion Jose Aldo has asked to be released from the UFC Featherweight champion Conor McGregor will keep his belt when he fights Eddie Alavrez The Brazilian was dismayed when he was denied a rematch with McGregor after defeating Frankie Edgar for the interim title in July as the Dubliner went for round two with Nate Diaz at welterweight. The bout will be McGregor's third without defending the title since defeating Aldo Aldo was told he would get a rematch with McGregor after defeating Frankie Edgar 'But, to my surprise, I heard last night about the fight between McGregor and Eddie Alvarez, which was also denied by Dana last week. 'After all this, I see I can't trust any word from president Dana White, and who's in charge of the promotion now is Conor McGregor,' Aldo said. 'When they offered me a fight with Frankie Edgar, Dana said that the winner would challenge McGregor or win the linear title, that he would lose his belt if he didn't return to the featherweight division after his rematch with Nate Diaz.
