Fjäderviktsmästaren Jose Aldo kommer under helgen att ta sig an interimmästaren Max Holloway, då de möts under UFC 212 i Rio de Janeiro. Aldo har redan radat upp en hel del planer på vad han vill göra efter mötet mot Holloway, och detta hade Jose att säga via ”MMAJunkie”:
Very concrete. I want to test myself in new divisions. I want to test myself against new challenges, new athletes, do superfights. The UFC is opening up that side now. Before, I’d tried to move up to lightweight and couldn’t. It didn’t work out. But not now.
I worry a lot about this. I don’t like getting in the way of people’s dreams – although I am a dream destroyer, considering that those who’ve tried to be champion have failed (laughter). But I do think about i
With superfights, I can do them and then fight in my division right after that. This is what I have in mind – fighting more often. I think the fans want to see Jose Aldo in action in the octagon more often. I want to do superfights, get new challenges, maybe challenge a lightweight, or for the title, but go back to my division and defend that too. I don’t want to get a belt and stop fighting.
Sist vi såg Aldo inne i oktogonen tog han sig an och besegrade Frankie Edgar via ett enhälligt domslut, då de möttes under UFC 200.
