Jose Aldo opens up on rejecting a long-term deal with the UFC

MMA icon Jose Aldo has shed light on his decision to decline a new, multi-fight contract with the UFC.

The Brazilian legend, known for his lengthy featherweight championship reign, recently announced his return to the octagon for a single bout against Jonathan Martinez at UFC 301. This sparked speculation about a possible long-term extension with the promotion.

However, the veteran himself has clarified his stance. In a recent interview with ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto, he revealed that financial security was not a motivating factor for his return.

Aldo stated:

"Ultimately I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think I can make myself back up to fight for the title. Financially, I don't need it. I wouldn't trade my health for any financial means. Back when I started talking with Dana, they offered me a longer-term deal with X number of fights, but I decided I needed to have this fight to prove to myself where I'm at."
