“I don’t know why he said that [provocação de Aldo contra Popó], there was no media, there was no scheduled fight. When I challenged him in the ring, I should thank him: ‘if the guy challenged me, the four-time world boxing champion challenged me live, it’s because I’m good, it’s because I’m the guy’. I won’t challenge any live dead chicken, with an audience up there“, shot.
“Only he thought it was an offense. What did he do? arrived at [programa de] Danilo Gentili and said I was fat, that I couldn’t take down Whindersson Nunes because I was old and he lied. But today, if he wants to fight, even if he pays and invites me, after his last fight, I’ll never fight him. If I fight him, I’ll get burned”, detonated Popo.
Still in the same interview, Popó criticized José Aldo’s shy posture at UFC 278. For him, the former champion had a very bad performance during the entire confrontation. Besides, Acelino Freitas made it clear that he won’t fight him at all and sent a message to the ‘former opponent’ in the fighting world.
“If he challenges me now and they set up Fight Music Show 3, Popó x José Aldo, I won’t go for any money. The last fight he had, if I fight him I’m going to burn myself because he was so bad, the fight he did was so ugly. That’s not the fight of a champion, of a guy who spent ten years with the world title, more than ten years undefeated“, said.
I’m not even going to stop! José Aldo, give up, I don’t want to fight you anymore. You are beautiful to me now, you are no longer ugly (laughs). I don’t want to fight you anymore, because after that fight you did, it’s only going to burn my name”, concluded Popó in the interview.
