WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo will likely defend his title at UFC 125 on Jan. 1 against Josh Grispi – the first title defense of a WEC champ under the UFC banner.
Versus.com was first to report news of the Aldo-Grispi bout, and sources with knowledge of the proposed matchup told MMA Fighting that was the planned direction for Aldo’s next defense. The fight would be the co-main event of the New Year’s Day card behind a lightweight title fight between UFC champion Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard.
