Former UFC champion Jose Aldo is making plans for his post-UFC career, and he has his sights set on the boxing ring. Aldo recently revealed that he is eyeing a spot on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight card on July 20.
Aldo’s last fight on his UFC contract will be at UFC 301 in Brazil, which he sees as a fitting end to his career in his home country. However, the former champion is not wasting any time in exploring his options.
In an interview with MMA Junkie, Aldo stated that he has no concrete plans yet, but he is eager to discuss his future with the UFC after his upcoming fight. Depending on his performance and how he feels, Aldo will decide whether to continue in the organization or pursue other opportunities.
One thing is for certain, though: Aldo wants to box in the future. He had initially been scheduled to fight Dominick Cruz at UFC 301, but the fight fell through due to an injury suffered by Cruz. Aldo expressed disappointment about the canceled fight, as he believes it would have been an epic send-off for both UFC legends.
Despite the setback, Aldo remains optimistic about his future in combat sports. He is eager to make his mark in the boxing ring and prove that he is still a force to be reckoned with.
