Kvällssvepet: Jose Aldo vill lämna UFC – så fort som möjligt

Jose Aldo har haft det jobbigt sedan han förlorade fjäderviktsbältet mot Conor McGregor via den ökända knockouten efter bara 13 sekunder på UFC 194.

Brassen återfick förvisso titeln när McGregor gick upp till lättvikt, men förlorade den återigen när han knockades av Max Holloway inför hemmafansen på UFC 212 i Sao Paolo – för att senare förlora rematchen för bara en månad sedan på samma manér. Nu berättar Aldos tränare André Pederneiras att titelförlusten mot Holloway i Brasilien tog nästan lika hårt som förlusten mot McGregor.

“With Conor, it was a defeat, that firstly we did not expect, and secondly, the way it happened, it was so fast, we couldn’t show anything. One fighter threw, the other also threw, one hit the chin and the other the eyebrow and he had not lost in the UFC yet,” säger Pederneiras till brasilianska SPORTV.

“The impact [on him] was very large. Losing at home was also very bad, in front of the crowd. They are similar weight losses.”

“Har velat det länge”

Nu verkar det som att Aldo har tröttnat på UFC. Enligt Pederneiras vill den tidigare mästaren avsluta sitt kontrakt så fort som möjligt.

Aldo har tidigare uppgett sig intresserad av att testa vingarna i en annan sport, nämligen boxning, och enligt Pederneiras är det något som har legat i luften länge.

“I’ve never heard him talk about stopping. I think Aldo has been at it for a long time, in a very continuous time. I think Aldo could take a vacation and feel that motivation to return. I already talked to him, but he wants to end the UFC contract as soon as possible.”

“Aldo has wanted to do boxing for a long time,” säger Pederneiras. “This happened for Conor, but this wasn’t of interest between us and the UFC. We had other issues that we went to Vegas to talk to Dana about.

Grattis!

Happy New Year everyone! 2016 & 2017 were crazy years full of transitions for me but I’m so happy where I’m at now moving into 2018. I have many things to be grateful for but one stands out in particular, you see there’s this man who has brought joy and happiness into my life in a way I’ve never known before, Johnny thank you for that. I’m proud to announce we are expecting a beautiful baby girl. Now you can sit and speculate… or you can just be happy for us. I’d like to ask that everyone respect the fact that (like we have been) we would like to continue to live our private lives primarily out of the media. I won’t comment on specifics so just know that I am very happy, very excited and my life has never felt so complete. Thank you all for the continued support on this crazy journey we call life! #FollowYourHeart #mommytobe #daughter #cupcakeintheoven #love #HappyNewYear 👶 👗🌸🎂🎀💜
