Cejudo Calls Dvalishvili A ‘Dirtbag’ For Revealing Aldo Retirement

Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo has suggested that it was a “dirtbag move” for Merab Dvalishvili to reveal José Aldo’s retirement plans. Last month, legendary former featherweight king Aldo brought a lengthy and illustrious career in mixed martial arts to an end. The announcement came weeks after the Brazilian had seen his bantamweight title…

Jose Aldo has opened the door for a potential move to the boxing world, but has officially ruled out any return to the octagon.

Aldo will go down as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time and a pioneer of the sport. His reign of dominance over the featherweight division lasted years, and his ascension to the top of the bantamweight division, many years into his career was a joy to watch. Aldo still has one fight left on his UFC contract, but he will not be fighting it out.

“I’m trying to see the best path I’ll take right now,” Jose Aldo said. “I won’t fight MMA, that’s for sure. I thank everybody calling me from other promotions, but I haven’t left the UFC, I remain under contract with them. I’ll see where I’ll fit.” (Transcribed by MMAFighting)

His last bout against Merab Dvalishvili didn’t go his way, as he defended perfectly against the takedowns, but didn’t exhort enough offense to get the decision victory. A win over Dvalishvili would have most likely earned him a title fight once again in the bantamweight division, but unfortunately, the legendary fighter came up short. Aldo recently stated in an interview that the only thing that stuck with him after all these years as an MMA fighter, was that he never got his rematch with Conor McGregor.

Jose Aldo won’t be returning to the octagon, but he has been thinking about taking his talents to the boxing ring

“Boxing is a possibility,” Jose Aldo explained. “It was always a dream I had in my life, I never hid that from anyone. It was always a dream. But let’s see. Everybody says I’m still young, that I have a few years [left]. First, for now, with the birth of my son, I want to enjoy my family, and then I’ll think of the professional side.”

Aldo had flirted with the idea of making the change to boxing a few years ago, but never did. He would be one of many MMA fighters that have tried their hand in the boxing ring, as of late.

Patrício Pitbull issues callout to Jose Aldo for ‘superfight’ in either MMA or Boxing

Patrício Pitbull (33-5 MMA) is now gunning for a battle of the Brazilians with Jose Aldo (31-8 MMA) to find out who is the best out of the featherweight champions, especially since Aldo is now retired and no longer under contract with the UFC. Jose Aldo’s last UFC appearance was at UFC 278 where he […]

Jose Aldo’s last UFC appearance was at UFC 278 where he squared off against rising featherweight Merab Dvalishvili (15-4 MMA).

Although coming into the event a betting favourite, the 36-year-old was unable to get his rhythm going as Dvalishvili was able to subdue Aldo’s striking with his much-anticipated wrestling, earning himself a unanimous decision victory on the night.

Despite the disappointing performance, MMA fans weren’t expecting the journey to end just there, as Aldo officially hung up his gloves a few weeks after the bout.

This is all happening while Patrício Pitbull managed to regain his Bellator featherweight championship against AJ McKee and is now set to defend his 145lbs throne for the 15^th time against Adam Borics (18-1 MMA) at Bellator 286.

Patrício Pitbull still wants to fight Jose Aldo and doesn’t mind if it’s either MMA or Boxing

Although Patrício Pitbull understands Jose Aldo will remain a legend forever, he believes Aldo has a lot left in the tank and isn’t finished fighting just yet.

Speaking on this week’s ‘Trocação Franca‘ podcast, Patrício Pitbull congratulated his fellow countryman on ‘a beautiful run’ in Mixed Martial Arts, however, doesn’t believe ‘Junior’s’ retirement isn’t final and is made by others and will eventually return to some form of combat.

‘You feel there was a spark in his decision [to retire], that it was time to stop, that he had already done a lot for the sport,” Pitbull exclaimed.

‘He’s well financially, but I think, for his age, that his fire isn’t out yet. He’ll sit down, enjoy his son that was just born, his daughter, his marriage, and the moment will come where he will have that desire to fight again, and maybe he goes to boxing.

‘There were some talks out there between him and ‘Popo’ [former WBO and WBA champion Acelino Freitas]. He can also do a [MMA] superfight now that he’s not under contract. The world has opened for him one more time.’

With the chances for a ‘superfight’ becoming more plausible for Patrício Pitbull, he still feels that it was a missed opportunity not to arrange a fight between them both whilst they were both in their primes.

‘It would have been good [to fight in our primes], right?‘ Pitbull said.

‘It would have been a decider of who really is the best featherweight. We have very similar numbers. Amount of wins, title defences, submissions, knockouts, length of title reign, etc. Even though many people say, ‘Whoever is in the UFC is the best and whoever is in Bellator is the second best,’ it’s impossible to say that unless you put them to fight.‘

‘It didn’t happen, time has passed, he no longer has the belt, he stopped fighting, but the future is long, and opportunities are endless. We’re not that old. If it’s a fight between two old guys, it’s cool, we’d be equal. Or in MMA, a superfight, everybody is out of contract. Who knows?‘ (Transcribed by MMAFighting.com)
