Jose Aldo Wants Alexander Volkanovski or a Lightweight Bout at UFC 237 in Rio de Janeiro

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight king Jose Aldo is looking to secure a fight at the next pay-per-view card in Brazil at UFC 237 which takes place on May 11 in Rio de Janeiro.

The 32-year-old recently announced plans to retire from fighting by the end of this year and his wish to fight only in his native Brazil until then. The former champ is eyeing a bout against the surging Aussie Alexander Volkanovski, who is coming off a huge win over two-time title challenger Chad Mendes at UFC 232 in December.
