A featherweight clash pitting former champion Jose Aldo against Alexander Volkanovski is nearly official for UFC 237.
The bout was initially reported by Farah Hannoun on Twitter and later confirmed by ESPN. UFC 237 takes place on May 11 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro and features a strawweight title clash between Jessica Andrade and Rose Namajunas.
After losing twice to Max Holloway in championship bouts, Jose Aldo has rebounded to post consecutive TKO triumphs over Jeremy Stephens and Renato Carneiro.
