Sean Shelby's Shoes: What's next for Jose Aldo after UFC Fight Night 183 win?
Jose Aldo finally became a winner in the UFC’s bantamweight division when he beat Marlon Vera at UFC Fight Night 183.
Aldo (29-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC), a former longtime UFC and WEC featherweight titleholder, came up short in his first two attempts at 135 pounds. That changed Saturday when he put on a sharp performance against Vera (16-7-1 MMA, 10-6 UFC) en route to a unanimous decision win at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Following the win, Aldo came ready with the callouts. He specifically mentioned ex-champ T.J. Dillashaw (16-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) at his desired next opponent as he tries to climb toward another title shot.
Does the Aldo vs. Dillashaw fight make the most sense, though? Or is there a better direction for “Scarface” going forward?
