The UFC’s featherweight division is getting a little closer to becoming whole again.
UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo will meet interim champion Max Holloway in a title unification bout at UFC 212 on June 3 in Rio de Janeiro, the UFC announced officially Sunday morning. UFC president Dana White first mentioned the fight to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto on a podcast Friday. Presumably Aldo vs. Holloway will be the UFC 212 main event.
Aldo (26-2), who held the UFC/WEC featherweight title from 2009 to 2015, won the interim belt by beating Frankie Edgar by unanimous decision at UFC 200 last July.
