The Notorious Conor McGregor believes Jose Aldo's loss to Mario Bautista highlights a rule that the UFC need to change.

Conor McGregor has called on the UFC to implement a rule change after seeing former foe Jose Aldo fall to defeat this weekend.

McGregor, who famously knocked out Aldo in 13 seconds back in 2015, took to social media to slam the fight, writing: "Dirt decision. Rogan said the judges weren’t even looking. That was Jose’s story. Bulls*** decision." "As referee, if the fighters go to the same place over and over I would be putting the position on a clock. And each time they end back there the clock goes shorter. 30 second clock. 20 second clock, 10 second, 8 second, 6 second etc etc etc separate, seperate, separate. No point prolonging these positions as if they haven’t taken place exactly the same way prior and nothing has taken place but stalling. My opinion.

White later said he was open to looking at the issue, saying: "I always think that the referees should be more active on that, 100 per cent, especially when someone keeps doing it to stall. You guys aren’t going to let up on this are you, so let’s get into it.
