WEC featherweight Champion Jose Aldo revealed to TATAME that he has been offered a fight against Kenny Florian, in which he’d move up to fight Kenny Florian, in December.
According to the fighter, his managers declined the bout. They made the proposal. I wanna fight, it can be at WEC or in the UFC, he told TATAME.
With the negative, Aldo will face Mark Hominick in January, while Kenny Florian fights Evan Duham at UFC 126.
Speaking with MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday, Florian’s manager, Malki Kawa, admitted that they’ve never been offered a fight against Aldo, but would welcome the chance to face the Brazilian in the UFC.
“I heard the rumor and we would take the fight if it would have been (offered),” Kawa responded via text message. “Actually, we really want that fight.”
