With the confirmation of the change in combat between Anderson Silva e Chael Sonnen for UFC 148, in Las Vegas, Brazil will not be without a title fight. UFC 147, an event that will take place on June 23rd, with no location yet defined, will feature a featherweight division José Aldo as the main attraction. The Nova União athlete will put his title on the line for the second consecutive time in Brazil.
Despite not yet having a defined opponent, Aldo was scheduled to fight at UFC 149, on July 21, in Canada. However, this defense must be anticipated for Brazil.
