Jose Aldo Calls Out a Former Bantamweight Champion Following His Win Over Pedro Munhoz at UFC 265
Follow Us
Former featherweight champion Jose Aldo proved a lot of doubters wrong with his performance against Pedro Munhoz at UFC 265. ‘Junior’ moved down a weight class to 135-pounds and made his debut in December 2019 against Marlon Moraes, a fight he lost via split decision. Aldo then succumbed to a loss against Petr Yan for the title. A fight where he got dominated from the first bell and battered for five rounds.
Following the two losses, fans and pundits alike called for Aldo to retire from the sport, fearing that he was no longer the same fighter who was a world champion.
Following the win, Aldo shared his thoughts on who might be next and a fight with former champion TJ Dillashaw. He said, “It’s step by step (until the title). The next one is to do one more fight. I hope to fight until December and the big opponent for me would be Dillashaw. It would be a great fight. We would gain a lot from this fight, so I hope it happens. He’s a big name in the division.”

Jose Aldo vs TJ Dillashaw for the number one contender spot?
‘The King of Rio’ put on a performance for the ages against a very tough competitor in Munhoz. He set a record for the most significant strikes of his career in a single fight. This record is mind-boggling, given he has competed multiple times in five-round fights but took just three rounds to set the record last night.

He is currently on a two-fight win streak and understands that Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling will have to fight it out before they can set up a title fight. In the meantime, a fight against Dillashaw would make perfect sense for both parties involved. A fight between Aldo and Dillashaw would be for the number one contender spot. And a fight that would be a treat for fans to watch.
