Aldo dreams of fighting Pacquiao.

Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo has admitted that he wants a boxing match with the legendary Manny Pacquiao one day.

"I was very close to fighting Floyd Mayweather. He agreed to fight in Saudi Arabia, but for some reason that matchup fell through. But apart from that, we have been in talks for a long time to meet Manny Pacquiao. For me, this fight would be a great cherry on the cake of my career. I have a huge passion for boxing, and I very much appreciate his achievements, so I would be very happy to fight him," - quotes Aldo Combate.

As a reminder, Aldo will share the octagon with Jonathan Martinez at the upcoming UFC 301 event, which takes place on the night of May 5 in Rio de Janeiro.
