Jose Aldo focused on featherweight belt, but still open to ‘big’ lightweight fight

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Jose Aldo returned to the winning column in great fashion at UFC on FOX 30, stopping Jeremy Stephens in the opening round with a punch to the body.

Back to Brazil after such an impressive victory, Aldo spoke with Brazilian reporters during the launch of his social project at Upper Arena on Friday and discussed his victory, plans for the future with a possible interim title bout with Brian Ortega, Max Holloway’s health, and moving up to fight at lightweight.

The former featherweight champion also talked about Conor McGregor’s post-fight comments, saying he was happy for Aldo, the planned superfight between UFC champions Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes, and much more.
