ALDO TOSSES HIS NAME INTO THE MIX

wec48_11_aldo_031I received about a dozen emails in the days leading up to last weekend’s Aldo vs Faber fight, asking whether I truly believed that Jose Aldo was among the best in the world, pound for pound, or if I took some liberties with hyperbole in my main event breakdown.

 

Anyone who witnessed Aldo’s thorough destruction of superstar Urijah Faber now knows the answer to that question.

In fact, he'll actually be in the main event.

 

Following Saturday night's "WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber" post-event press conference, White told a small group of reporters that the upcoming Silva vs. Chael Sonnen fight at UFC 117 in Oakland, Calif., would serve as the night's featured contest.
