Diaz shocked the world earlier this month by becoming the first man in UFC history to defeat the trash talking Irishman.

The Ultimate Fighter season five winner, who was a late replacement for lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, battled through adversity to record a second-round submission victory over the current featherweight king.

McGregor started the contest, which took place in the welterweight division, well and rocked Diaz with some big left hands in the first round.

But he faded away in the second period and was forced to tap out for the third time in his career after Diaz slapped a nasty Rear Naked Choke on his neck in the final minute of the round.

Aldo, who suffered a stunning 13-second KO defeat to McGregor at UFC 194, wasn't impressed by the Dubliner's performance and has branded him a quitter.

"He’s a lion when he’s attacking, but a kitten when he’s getting beat up," Aldo told Esporte Espetacular.

"Everybody saw in his eyes that he’s just a p---- that quits when he’s getting beat up. That’s what we saw."

A rematch between McGregor and Diaz is currently in the works for UFC 200, which takes place on July 9.

But Aldo, 25-2, is still hopeful of getting the next crack at 'The Notorious'.

"You will come back (to the featherweight division) with your tail between your legs after what happened, after that embarrassment," he added.

"You will come back.

"My hand almost caught you, but when it does for good, you will sleep."
