What’s next for Jose Aldo?
Aldo has already fought for the UFC’s bantamweight title, so it’s safe to say that he won’t be getting his hands at the belt anytime soon. However, another win from here can definitely bring him back to the title contention. Rob Font is an exciting challenge, and considering he is ranked #5 in the UFC’s bantamweight rankings, it definitely looks like the fight to make.

The future looks bright for Jose Aldo, and he looks all set to make his name in the UFC’s bantamweight division as well after ruling the featherweight division for more than a decade.
