José Aldo not only lost the chance to regain the featherweight belt at UFC 218, but the setback against Max Holloway, in the early hours of this Sunday (03), marked the Brazilian's third defeat in his last four appearances. With no expectation of returning to compete for the title in the near future, UFC president, Dana White, did not want to predict the manauara's next steps, but even considered his retirement.

The manager praised Aldo's story, but said that the Brazilian has already made a lot of money and needs to talk to his family to define his future. Even so, White reaffirms that Manauara 'doesn't need to prove anything to anyone'

"José Aldo He is one of the world champions who have reigned for a long time in this sport. He's an absolute legend, the guy has nothing to prove to anyone anymore. I think he needs to sit down with his family and decide what he wants to do next. He has a lot of money. I don’t know,” White said after UFC 218.

José Aldo, 31 years old, has a professional record of 26 wins and four losses as a professional. The man from Manaus was the event's first heavyweight champion and held the title from 2010 until 2015, when he was knocked out by Conor McGregor at UFC 194. From then on, Manauara's astral hell began. The 'People's Champion' even regained the title at UFC 200, in July 2016, when he defeated Frankie Edgar. But he was overcome, at home, to Max Holloway at UFC 212, in June this year. In the rematch, in the early hours of this Sunday, Aldo was once again knocked out by the Hawaiian.
