WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo may agree with observers who think he’s running out of credible threats.
During a Q&A session with UFC Fight Club members at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London, UFC president Dana White said Aldo has expressed interest in moving up to the lightweight division.
“From what I’m hearing, Aldo’s interested in testing himself,” White said.
The UFC president did not present a timeline for a possible move other than to say it could happen “very soon.”
Aldo, a member of powerhouse MMA team Blackhouse, decimated the most recent challenger to his WEC crown when he took out former UFC lightweight and “The Ultimate Fighter 5” runner-up Manny Gamburyan by second-round TKO at WEC 51. It was his eighth consecutive victory in the promotion.
