Jose Aldo came up short in his bantamweight debut but that won’t stop him from receiving a title shot if the reigning champion has anything to say about it.
After three hard-fought rounds, Aldo came away on the losing side of a split decision to Marlon Moraes but even UFC president Dana White believed he deserved the nod.
“I had Aldo winning that fight,” White said at the UFC 245 post fight press conference.
White’s scoring seemed to match 135-pound king Henry Cejudo, who apparently texted the UFC president after the fights ended.
