The people of Brazil still love Jose Aldo.

Suffering defeat for the first time in more than a decade, Aldo returned to a hero's welcome when he landed in Rio de Janeiro following his 13-second destruction at the hands of Conor McGregor at UFC 194 last week.

Still the people's champion .... That wasn't a defeat... @danawhiteufc rematch right away @josealdojunioroficial @thenotoriousmma ... Manifestação de carinho do #Brasil #novauniao na chegada do campeão do povo @josealdojunioroficial ... Isso não foi uma derrota... @danawhiteufc revanche já!!! @canalcombateoficial @ufc_brasil @ufc @sportv @claudiagadelhaufc @renanbaraoufc @gsmnu @marlon_gladiator @andremarolanovauniao @teamalphamalemma @kimuranu @rafael.carino @renanbaraoufc @jairlourencoknu @anahissa @gloverteixeira @junior_cigano @chadmendes @uriahfaber @uriahfabermma #mma #ufc #bjj #flamengo

The visual's accompanied by the following message:

Still the people's champion .... That wasn't a defeat... @danawhiteufc rematch right away@josealdojunioroficial @thenotoriousmma

Yep, looks like he's still fishing for that rematch, and if Ronda Rousey can get one after the absolute beating she endured at the hands of Holly Holm, it's not outside the realm of possibility we'll see McGregor-Aldo II at some point in the future.
