Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo commented on his win over Jonathan Martinez and also spoke out about his future.
"I came out for this fight as focused as possible, I had a great preparation, thanks to my team for that. I'm happy that I pleased the fans and gave them what they wanted. I worked a lot on my boxing, that's what I emphasized in the fight. But he is left-handed, so it was not easy to catch him, I had to wait for the right moments to attack, but in general I attacked him with good punches.
What's next? That's up to Dana White, Sean Shelby and Hunter Campbell. We'll see what they come up with. But I've said before, this isn't my last fight. I feel like age doesn't stop me from fighting, I feel great physically. Perhaps I can become a champion again," - stated Aldo.
Recall that Aldo defeated Maritinez by unanimous decision of judges at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, USA. For the 37-year-old Brazilian this fight was the first in MMA since August 2022.
