Jose Aldo feels ‘strong’ at bantamweight, sees Marlon Vera as ‘great opponent’

Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo is ready to call the bantamweight division his new home for good. After spending almost the entirety of his career in the heavier weight class, the Brazilian admits to feeling great at 135 pounds and puts his weight cutting problems in the past.

Although Aldo has lost both of his outings at bantamweight, he believes his recent track record does not paint a real picture of his current situation. In an interview with Combate, Aldo once again pointed out how he feels like he won his fight against Marlon Moraes and praises his performance against Petr Yan, despite being finished in the fifth round.
