A pivotal bantamweight fight between Jose Aldo and Pedro Munhoz is close to being finalized for UFC 265.
The news was first reported by Ana Hissa and Raphael Marinho of Combate on Thursday afternoon. Per the report, both Aldo and Munhoz have verbally agreed to the fight.
Aldo recently snapped a three-fight losing streak when he earned an unanimous decision win over Marlon Vera at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Neal last December. It was his first win at bantamweight since moving down from featherweight a little more than a year ago.
Prior to the win over Vera, Aldo dropped decisions to Alexander Volkanovski and Marlon Moraes at UFC 237 and UFC 245 respectively.
