Dana White sounds like he’s entirely grateful for José Aldo and all he has done in mixed martial arts.
The former World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight champion has decided to retire from MMA, ending an 18-year career earlier this week. Aldo had one fight left on his current UFC contract but reached a deal with the promotion to void it.
Following the news of his retirement, the UFC president showered Aldo with praise during his post-fight press conference at the Contender Series fight card this past Tuesday.
“We love him,” said White (video provided by MMA Fighting).
