Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo was upset to learn that his rematch with Cub Swanson, which was reportedly slated to happen at UFC 233, ended up falling through after Swanson denied accepting the bout. However, the Brazilian did not go too long without another opponent wanting to line up and face him.
Former lightweight contender and current featherweight Michael Johnson took to his Twitter account to challenge Aldo on the same card, in a move that was welcomed by Jose and his team, who wants to fight three times in 2019 in order to finish his UFC contract.
