When former Bellator bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas shared a picture of Jose Aldo after his last sparring session before UFC 245, he was proud of his longtime friend. The MMA community didn’t react the same way, though.
Darren Till, who had his own struggles with weight cutting for a long time in the UFC before finally moving up to middleweight in November, voiced his concerns on social media, hoping that Aldo changed weight classes the other way around.
Just seen a photo of aldo
Wow he doesn’t look to good man
I don’t get this cut to 135
I think he is gonna badly struggle or may not even make it
I think it would of been wiser to go up rather than down
As you get older the cut gets harder not easier
I got marlon for this— Darren Till (@darrentill2) December 6, 2019Speaking with the media earlier this week in Rio de Janeiro, Aldo said his weight cut is going smooth.
