Veteran UFC contenders will soon clash at UFC 265.
MMA Fighting confirmed with sources with knowledge of the matchup that Jose Aldo (29-7) will fight Pedro Munhoz (19-5, 1 NC) in a bantamweight contest at the UFC’s upcoming Aug. 7 pay-per-view event. The event’s location is still to be determined. The matchup was first reported by Combate.
Aldo, a former UFC champion at featherweight, recently snapped a three-fight skid when he defeated Marlon Vera by unanimous decision this past December. “Junior” was 0-2 at 135 pounds up to that point, with losses to Marlon Moraes and Petr Yan; the latter bout was for a vacant bantamweight title.
