PIC: Jose Aldo was having so much fun in the capital that he missed his flight out of Dublin

Either that or it was the traffic

We would not like to have been the taxi man who failed to get Jose Aldo to the airport on time.

We’d have thought that the UFC featherweight champion would have gone straight from the convention centre to the airport on Tuesday evening such was the abuse that he got from a host of “rowdy” Dublin fans.

But, to be fair to the Brazilian, he hung around the city and had a bit of a laugh, even having a go on a rickshaw after the UFC 189 fan event.

It won’t fill Aldo fans with confidence, though, that the 145lb kingpin missed a day of training due to missing his flight last night.

The 25-1 fighter revealed the mishap on his Instagram account on Wednesday evening and we’re sure he was bloody raging.

It surprises us that he didn’t just ask Conor McGregor if he could stay in his gaff.
