Aldo names his next opponent

Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo announced that he's ready to meet Jeremy Stephens at UFC 224, scheduled for May 12 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

According to MMA Fighting, initially the management of the promotion offered the Brazilian a fight in April, but he refused the idea due to lack of time for preparation.

"I called him out, he asked for a fight, so this will be a great battle. Now I'm waiting for them to organize it," the Brazilian said.

Last June Aldo lost his championship belt to Max Holloway by technical knockout in the third round. In December, an immediate rematch took place, but the Brazilian was knocked out again.
