He's back!
We can start writing another page in the Jose Aldo/Conor McGregor book as the world got a new interim featherweight champion on Saturday night.
Seven months removed from a devastating knockout at the left hand of 'The Notorious', Aldo put on a showcase against Frankie Edgar in a rematch of their 2013 meeting.
Opposite Edgar, the Brazilian displayed all the traits that made him the most feared man at 145 lbs - pinpoint accuracy, faultless takedown defence and a striking armoury that enabled him to bust up the facial structures of all who he met.
Aldo claimed a unanimous decision on the UFC 200 main card and truly never allowed 'The Answer' into the contest.
And while Aldo had a gold belt wrapped around his waist following the final buzzer, there is only one prize he wants and it's currently held by a brash Irishman who was sat Octagon-side.

As the last scorecard was read out, Aldo made a beeline for the fence behind which McGregor was sitting and made it clear that he was coming for him, a threat that was embraced by 'The Notorious'.
McGregor is currently slated to take on Nate Diaz in the main event of UFC 202, at welterweight, but it's expected that he will then return to 145 lbs to defend his championship in the rematch of a 13-second title tilt from last December.
