"I think Dana and the new owners have to understand that there’s a completely unsatisfied employee who doesn’t want to continue," Pederneiras said. "If that was in Brazil and a guy said ‘boss, I want to leave,’ I’d say ‘Ok, I can’t hold you.’ The contract we have in the UFC, ‘boss, I want to leave,’ the answer is ‘no, you’ll be stuck with me, you might not do anything, but you can’t leave here.’ Is that something nice?

"I think it creates dissatisfaction, and he will want to go to court. He would have to go to court to cut this contract. And the damage a dissatisfied person, someone like Aldo, talking sh*t to everyone about a lot of things, I think the company wouldn’t want a guy like this every day in the media talking trash. Since the guy doesn’t want to do it, let him leave! ‘I just want to leave, I don’t want to stay here anymore, I don’t want to fight here. I don’t want to be in anymore.’ We don’t want a war, we don’t want a fight, we don’t want to talk bad about anyone. We only want the right to say ‘I don’t want to be here anymore. It’s not about money, I don’t want to be here anymore.’"

According to the report, Aldo still has six fights left in his contract with the UFC. "Scarface", who beat Frankie Edgar for the interim belt at the historic UFC 200 event in Las Vegas, was unhappy with the way he was treated by the promotion after losing to McGregor in December.

"He was already pissed off with the situation of being left aside without an answer," Pederneiras said. "You can’t do that with someone like Aldo. You can do that to someone who just entered the UFC now, but not with a guy that went undefeated for 10 years, not with a guy that was the first and only champion until he lost the belt in a 13-second situation, and earned his rematch, was fooled and it didn’t happen. I think the company has its financial side – I have a company and will always think on the financial side – but I won’t lie to my employee. If there’s no way to do it, there’s no way to do it. I won’t tell everybody something, put in the news for everyone to see, and then be caught in a lie."

Thanks UFC & Conor<3>

So did Aldo just outperform Luke Rockholds salt level?
 
Aldo shit on the UFC ever chnce he got even before conor. Saying he wasnt getting paid enough etc. And now he wants UFC to show him some loyalty?
 
I know he feels wronged but he would have no chance in court
 
Imagine if the judge in court is...............

I feel like there is some legal angle Aldo can pursue. No? Isn't there a limit to what the UFC can do regarding a fighters career?
 
lol, The UFC will completely wreck Jose in court.
Why do you say that
Jeff Borris says the UFC contracts are basically unenforceable in court so if he decides to throw his weight behind this case things may not be as one sided as you think

I wonder how ironclad those contracts are. Keep in mind they're dealing with guys who largely don't have the cash to sue. I wonder what a TOP labour lawyer can do with this.

Anyway, they should offer him a cheque of 15 million and LOTS of apologies behind the scene. To lose a veteran GOAT over a new guy who's still largely unproven in several ways, it's a bad look and the fans will remember this....

After he fought Conor and lost he said he wouldn't fight again unless it was for the belt. Then he agreed to fight Edgar I'm assuming cause he was told win or lose for Conor v Nate 2 he had next for sure
