Urijah Faber talks about Jose Aldo's success at 135lbs, would like to see final title fight
When asked about Aldo skipping the line to face Sean O'Malley for bantamweight gold, Urijah Faber was emotional. “I would really like to see that,” he told Lowkick MMA reporter Makoa Goble. “I think these are some of the best conditions I've seen Aldo in. I think there is a lot of acclimatization to this weight category. He's always been a big guy. When I fought him at 145, I felt like he was a big guy.”
“I think it took his body a while to adjust to 135 pounds, but I thought he looked amazing. We don't speak the same language, so when I see Aldo it's mostly an exchange of greetings and love. We always had great energy. Before we fought, after we fought, and the years after retirement for me.”
Who do you think Sean O'Malley will defend his title against next?
