Jose Aldo returns to the division that he dominated for more than ten years at UFC 315.
The former dual UFC champion Vederweight enjoyed an 18-fighter profit streak before Conor McGregor took it out in 13 seconds in 194 in December 2015.
Four years later, Jose Aldo fell to Bantamweight and he has been fighting there since then.

Jose Aldo returns to featherweight on UFC 315
On Friday, Aldo and Zahabi threw the scales far above the contracted limit for their fight.
It soon became clear that their matchup had been moved to featherweight at the last moment from Bantamweight.
Veteran MMA reporter Ariel Helwani has since claimed that this was due to the fact that Aldo could not make 136 pounds.
“UFC changed the Jose Aldo x Aiemann Zahabi fighting this AM when it became clear that Aldo would not be weight,” he tweeted.
“Zahabi weighed 142 pounds and Aldo 143LBS moments ago. Vecht was originally planned to be a Bantam weight.”
The claim of Helwani was supported by Aldo, who looked worse for wear when he stepped on the scales.
