Jose Aldo, former UFC featherweight champion, spoke about why he was ending his UFC fighting career for a while.

"I think I needed a break for my mind and body. Just because of the fact that I was demanding a lot from myself and because training had taken a lot out of me for the last 20 years. I found a discipline I could focus on, which was boxing, and I did it for a while to recover from all that pressure. I wanted to be a champion and every fight I had was very tough and demanded a lot from me. Now I feel like I've dealt with it and I can come back," MMAJunkie quoted Aldo as saying.
