Den forne fjäderviktsmästaren i WEC och UFC, José Aldo, överväger att pensionera sig.
Genom Portal do Vale Tudo säger Aldo att hälsan kommer först och tänker inte fortsätta tävla till han är 40 år gammal. Aldo menar att framtiden är säkrad rent ekonomiskt och att han kan pensionera sig när som.
I want to stop and not spend my money getting my health back. Today, I’m spending my money to be healthy. I want to feel well, I want to enjoy seeing my daughter grow, travel with my family, smile, play, I don’t want to fight into my forties and performing badly like I see so many of our great idols do. I programmed my entire life to be financially stable so I could stop whenever I felt like it.
Tre matcher kvar
If I fight for the title and win, my contract pretty much gets renewed on its own. Then Dede (Pederneiras) will have to step in and negotiate, which is exactly what I don’t want to happen, I don’t want to be stuck. My goal is to fight in Fortaleza, then in May (in Curitiba) and then end it here (in Rio de Janeiro), because I know there’ll be another card here, and they know that. There’s no reason for them to give me a title shot. But make no mistake, I’ll make it hard for everyone who steps in front of me, I’ll win all three fights.
Aldo gick sin senaste match topprankade Jeremy Stephens under ’UFC on Fox: Alvarez vs. Poirier 2’ och vann genom teknisk knockout i rond ett. I sin nästa match möter han Renato Moicano som äger rum nu i helgen.
I helgen presenteras veckans fighter i form av José Aldo och publiceras 14:00 nu på lördag.
