Former UFC champion in the featherweight division Jose Aldo believes he can take the title from the bantamweight division leader Merab Dvalishvili, whom he lost to by points in August 2022.
38-year-old Brazilian will return to the octagon at UFC 315, which will take place on Sunday night in Montreal, Canada. His opponent will be local fighter Aymann Zahabi.
"I am at the highest level and I have everything to become a champion — even the champion is afraid to fight me because he knows that our fight was difficult for him and the judges helped him. Everyone knows what I am capable of, and I know it myself, because I continue to beat young fighters in training. I have become more explosive, experienced, faster and I am going to show an excellent performance. To become a champion again, regardless of whether my opponent has a loud name or not, I must step into the octagon, use all my skills and run him over," Aldo is quoted by MMA Mania.
