World Extreme Cagefighting’s final featherweight champion, Jose Aldo will make his UFC debut on Jan. 1.
UFC president Dana White today announced that Aldo – who by virtue of
the pending UFC and WEC merger is now the UFC’s first featherweight
champ – will defend his title against a yet to be named opponent at UFC
125.
Featuring a lightweight title fight between current UFC champion Frankie
Edgar and top contender Gray Maynard, UFC 125 takes place at the MGM
Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
