Experienced in the world of MMA, Robert whittaker went against popular opinion and surprised by declaring that he disapproves of the return of José Aldo to the octagon in UFC 301. Aware that the Brazilian is 37 years old, the Australian also highlighted the athlete's sudden change of plans, who had retired two years ago and decided to return for a possible last fight.
“I don't want to see him come back. Yes, I think he has done enough in the game. I don't know why he's coming back, but I feel like he's done enough, yeah, I feel like he's done enough. I don’t like the idea of taking time to retire, turn off that part of your mind and then go back to fighting at 37,” said Whittaker on his podcast.

By continuing his speech, Whittaker reinforced the negative factor in returning from retirement.
“I’ve never been a big fan of guys who retire and come back. I feel like, especially in the profession we're in, you need that part of your brain primed and ready. And then when you retire, you turn it off, it goes away, and your instincts and everything, your body knows it's over, and it's like, 'Okay, we can relax now,' and your body starts to get back to normal again.” , he concluded.
