Stann: Aldo will fight for ‘financial impact’ alone
Brian Stann: “Here’s the positive things for Jose Aldo going into this fight: This fight is going to make him an awful lot of money — win, lose or draw.”
Although Jose Aldo and his coach have both said it is unsure whether or not the champion will fight at UFC 189, one man who is pretty sure it’ll happen is UFC on FOX analyst Brian Stann:
“I think he makes the walk based on the financial impact alone,” Stann said. “Here’s the positive things for Jose Aldo going into this fight: This fight is going to make him an awful lot of money — win, lose or draw. He’s the only featherweight champion in history. I think he merits, no matter what, an immediate rematch if he were to lose this fight. For him, he takes the fight, there’s already a built-in thing where if the performance is terrible people are going to point to the ribs first. And there’s great build-up for a rematch and he’ll get another great payday.”
