José Aldo Eyes Bantamweight Title Fight vs. Sean O'Malley After UFC 301 Win

After making his successful return to the Octagon at UFC 301 on Saturday, it sounds like José Aldo is already eyeing a title fight.

Aldo, who defeated Jonathan Martinez by unanimous decision in his first fight since August 2022, said in his post-fight press conference that he'd be willing to skip the line and challenge UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley for his title.

"That's what [my manager] says — I can skip line, I can get in there, because when we left, we were very well ranked," Aldo said, per Mike Heck of MMA Fighting.
