Jose Aldo: UFC interim title ‘means nothing’

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar will be fighting for the UFC interim featherweight championship at UFC 200, but the Brazilian doesn’t care about the interim belt.

The Nova Uniao star held the undisputed gold for years, and entering a cage on July 9 to fight for an interim belt while champion Conor McGregor moves up in weight one more time to face Nate Diaz on the same night feels weird for him.

"He will be fighting at the same night in a different division, in a rematch that means nothing," Aldo said during a recent media scrum in Rio de Janeiro.
