Costa comments on Aldo's exit from MMA

Former UFC middleweight contender Paulo Costa spoke about the decision of the former dominant champion of the featherweight division Jose Aldo hang gloves on a nail.

“I was surprised by this. This shocked me a little, because he had one fight left under the contract, and the tournament in Rio de Janeiro was ahead. I think he should have held a farewell fight there, that would be perfect.

But, apparently, he no longer wanted to perform. He decided that his time was up. It's sad, but he's a great fighter and our idol," Costa told The MMA Hour.

Recall that the 36-year-old Aldo announced his retirement in mid-September.
