It was less than one year ago when featherweight champion Jose Aldo threatened to retire from the UFC after missing out on a rematch with Conor McGregor and an opportunity to avenge his only loss over the past 10 years.
Following a win at UFC 200, Aldo was assured that he would get his chance to face McGregor after he suffered a 13-second knockout to the Irishman back in 2015.
Unfortunately, McGregor ended up facing Nate Diaz for a second time at UFC 202 before moving onto a lightweight title fight against Eddie Alvarez this past November and it appeared he put Aldo into his rearview mirror once and for all.
