UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo spoke with D24AM.com about his short-term plan of going up to the lightweight division to face off Frank Edgar or even the legendary B.J. Penn.
I don’t like to stop and I am never satisfied. I always think on the future. I want to fight three times in 2011 and keep my featherweight belt, then to move up to 155lbs division and battle to be the [lightweight] champion in 2012.
I have a hernia. In my last fight in September with Manny Gamburyan I left the Octagon worn out. As I was feeling pain, I began to lose strength on my arm, he explained.
I lost one centimetre in the right arm, which is where I have more force. I talked to Dana White and he also thought it would be better to put off my debut. But now I’m already anxious for the return.
I wish to be well in August. If everything goes alright I’ll perform at UFC Rio. All the Brazilians gun for it.”
