Sean O’Malley was super impressed by Jose Aldo after UFC 301. The UFC veteran came out of retirement and put on an incredible show at UFC 301 against opponent, Jonathan Martinez. Against all odds, Aldo won the fight via unanimous decision. This has caught the attention of O’Malley who wouldn’t mind fighting the Brazilian next.

Sean O’Malley recently released a video of him reacting live at the UFC 301 PPV event. During Jose Aldo‘s fight, O’Malley mentioned that he might fight Aldo in the future.

Aldo previously retired from the UFC after losing at UFC 278. However, this performance changed the whole narrative about his current status as a fighter. Suddenly, ‘King of Rio’ is on everybody’s radar and has already got some callouts.

In their previous match, which took place at UFC Vegas 17 in 2020, Aldo prevailed via unanimous decision over Vera. The fighter was greatly affected by that defeat, but he recovered and won four more fights in a row. Vera has discussed this rematch numerous times, and this time, he might actually succeed. But first, everything depends on the UFC and their most recent agreement with Jose Aldo.

In case you missed it!
