Jose Aldo wants lightweight debut or title bout against Brian Ortega at UFC 231

Jose Aldo wants to go back to Canada. During a media scrum in Brazil, the former UFC featherweight champion told MMA Fighting he hopes to make his lightweight debut at UFC 231, in Toronto, and that Nova Uniao head coach, Andre Pederneiras, turned down a fight against Donald Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 137, in Sao Paulo.

“Right after the (Jeremy Stephens) fight, Dana talked about the big possibility of fighting on Dec. 8, in Canada again. I’ve had already asked for that fight, I said I wanted to be on that event. I really enjoyed fighting in Canada, where I made my UFC debut, and I hope to fight there again.
