Some matchups just jump off the page as soon as they’re announced. Jeremy Stephens vs. Jose Aldo certainly fits that bill, but the featherweight co-headliner at UFC on Fox 30 is far more than just a “Fight of the Night” candidate.
Before he ran into Conor McGregor at UFC 194, Aldo was universally recognized as the greatest featherweight of all time. The long-reigning 145-pound king rebounded from the shocking 13-second knockout loss against the Irishman to claim the interim crown with a five-round verdict over Frankie Edgar at UFC 200.
