Jose Aldo is generally considered the largest featherweight hunter in the history of MMA.
The Brazilian legend enjoyed a decade of dominance before Conor McGregor hit him in 13 seconds at UFC 194 in December 2015.
Jose Aldo bounced back to become a double champion of the UFC featherweight before he went to Bantamweight, where he suffered a controversial split decision loss for Mario Bautista in his most recent outing on UFC 307 in October.
In his absence, Max Holloway, Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria all started the UFC -Geiten conversation of featherweight -but there is a promotional newcomer who wants to prove that he is the largest 145LB hunter.

In the meantime, Aldo is planned to tackle the training partner of George St-Pierre, Aiemann Zahabi, on UFC 315 on 10 May.
A fight between Freire and Aldo makes no sense until you hear why the UFC -Newbie wants it.
“For Aldo and people in the UFC, everyone is sure that he is the best featherweight of all time,” Pitbull told MMA Fighting.
'But some people who know fight [say]”There is also Patricio, and perhaps he can fight for the title who is the greatest.” Anyway, I think the best way to arrange this would be in a fight.
“We know that it would not determine who was the best or who did more, but in a fight we would at least have an answer, we would know who was first set on fire and the winner would leave a big stamp.
“I don't have the desire to fight Aldo, but it would be a good fight to make.”
Patrício Pitbull open for weight changes
Pitbull insists that weight classes do not prevent him from getting the UFC fights that he really wants.
The 37-year-old says that fans can expect him to compete as low as Bantam weight and as high as good weight during his upcoming run in MMA's most important promotion.
“Depending on the challenge, we would do it,” added Pitbull when he was asked about potentially changing divisions.
“From 135 to 170, depending on who the opponent is, we are in it. Even 170, depending on the history of the hunter. If someone is too young and without history, [no, but] If he has a history that looks like mine, and it's a bit older like me, we would go for it. “
