It’s no secret that, despite being one of the best fighters in the world, Jose Aldo has seemed a little disinterested in MMA as of late.
‘Scarface’ said he wants to finish his UFC contract so he can pursue a professional career in boxing, and former opponent Kenny Florian, who now works as a UFC commentator and analyst, wonders if Max Holloway ‘broke him mentally’ in their featherweight title unification bout earlier this year.
“That’s the big question for me, because although he was winning the majority of that fight against Max Holloway, early on especially, as the fight went on it seemed like it was the Jose Aldo that kind of loses interest in the fight,” Florian said on The Anik & Florian podcast, per MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew.
