José Aldo broke the silence with the press last Saturday (28) during the Shooto Brasil 82 event, held in Rio de Janeiro. After suffering two consecutive defeats to Max HollowayIn 2017, he said he considered stopping fighting MMA. The former champion lost the featherweight belt to the Hawaiian in June, and was defeated again in the rematch in December. The negative results made the fighter move away from the media and rethink his career.

“After the fight, I took some time for myself, to think and spend time with my family. Two weeks later I met with my coaches, sat down with everyone. I asked what they thought, whether it was time to stop or not. We decided to move on. The next day I was at the gym. I think I still have a lot of wood to burn, full capacity to go out there and fight for the title again. I still have four fights left in my contract, I want to do at least three this year. I want to get to third place already fighting for the title, to be the champion again. Then in the future I think about retiring or not” said Aldo in an interview with the Combate channel website.
José Aldo returns to the octagon at UFC Calgary, July 28th in Canada. He faces the North American Jeremy Stephens which comes from three consecutive victories. The Brazilian has a record with 26 wins and just 4 losses.
