Jose Aldo will 'no longer fight' after meeting with UFC, but won’t pursue contract-breaking lawsuit

Jose Aldo finally had his face-to-face meeting with the higher-ups at Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), including promotion president Dana White and new head matchmaker, Sean Shelby, after the interim-featherweight champion asked to be released from his contract a few weeks ago.

"Junior" spoke with the two UFC officials on Wednesday at Zuffa headquarters to air his grievances, which all began after Conor McGregor was booked to fight Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title at UFC 205 on Nov. 12, 2016 as opposed to unifying the the 145-pound title against him.

Still, after the sit down, Aldo told reporters that his stance hasn’t changed one bit.
