Jose Aldo ‘Rethinking’ Retirement From Fighting
Former longtime UFC featherweight champion and current interim titleholder Jose Aldo recently said that his meeting with UFC President Dana White went well last week, but that he still had no interest in fighting again.
After once again not being granted a rematch with current 145-pound champion Conor McGregor, who will challenge lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, Aldo essentially said that he was fed up with the promotion and that he was considering retirement. In fact, it seemed as if it was all but confirmed that we had seen the last of the Brazilian great.
Now, however, it seems as if “Scarface” has changed his tune. Taking to his official Twitter account, Aldo said that after speaking with his family he has begun ‘rethinking’ retirement.
Repensando na aposentadoria do MMA, conversei com minha família e vendo os pedidos dos meus Fans coisas boas virao para vocês. Thanks Russia

Check out the translation below:
“Rethinking retirement of MMA, I spoke with my family and seeing the requests from my Fans saw good things for you. Thanks Russia.”
Even if a rematch with McGregor, which would undoubtedly be massive, isn’t next for Aldo, there are other options for him. Perhaps a fight with surging contender Max Holloway would make sense, or even a clash with former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, who recently dropped down to featherweight, would be exciting.
Where would you like to see Aldo go from here?
