Aldo confirms he'll retire this year

Rum said:
Hahaha, the article YOU posted as "proof" details that Aldo and 135er Barao "are relatively close to the same size, naturally" and that for Aldo the last time he made 145 "it was pretty much effortless". Did you even read your own "proof"? "I could even make 135 pounds, I believe, but that's not a plan in my career."

Everyone's known for years Aldo and 135er Barao were close to the same size.

Meanwhile, Owen Roddy, in the days before Conor started goofing around with stories about his weight (remember Conor has always been prone to playing games on social media, this is the guy who annnounced he was back non UFC-200):

"Conor walks around 80 kilos (177lbs) and he'd still be cutting a bit at '77" --- https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...veals-mcgregor-coach-owen-roddy-a6893251.html

Not everyone can cut the same amount of weight
Holloway walks 185 but makes featherweight
Roddy made one story his nutritionist made another and everyone else made another
Roddy was most likely bluffing
We see him eating loads and not cutting weight in the build up, he also isn’t sucked on at all
Here is his lightweight weigh in and I’ll compare it to others who walk 180
here is mcgregors 205 cut
Here’s cerrone

Now here’s Antony Pettis

Also did you seen the link of a drained Aldo needing the towel to make 45

Here it is above
Roddy says one thing all the other evidence points to another
Remember vs Floyd he said he was gonna be 170
I really doubt he is 180

You really don't believe Conor's coaches? I rather believe his coaches than Conor himself who exaggerates everything and is proven troll who uses his fans to push narrative. Remember retiring? Remember fighting at UFC 200? Remember saying he was ready for Edgar? Conor is full of shit. Everyone knows Conor walks at higher 170s, he was 172 for Mendes fight.

His nutritionist

And what is that? When he diets down he probably hits 170, then water loads probably Sunday, then slowly lowers the portions on cals and water, during the week of the fight You can believe who you want, doesn't change he was walking around at 177 before the Diaz fight and not "eating steak 3 times a day to hit 168."

Your basing Hume walking 177 of a baselessl claim made by his striking coach
I’m basing my claim on his words his coached words and his nutritionist words
He was not 177
Roddy was most likely bluffing

Why would Roddy Owen bluff or lie? He has no reason to. You Conor fans are weird, provide you articles proof practically, yet somehow it's all lies and not true.

But hay the man that gets him ready for fights and the guy that manages his weight don’t know shit(sarcasm) let’s see what the man himself says
Proof 5

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.punditarena.com/mma/sraftery/74894/amp/
All the evidence points to him being around 170 when you respond try showing this much proof
Am sure you can’t
 
Such a shame, but for the best. He can still beat most of the roster I believe but the 2 losses to Holloway are an indication he can't be the best anymore.
 
Gut is telling me he takes a bad loss and retires before the 3 fights happen.
 
He wants a lw fight with Conor like everyone else..... no chance it happens. Before Conor takes that he fights Max for title.
 
Too bad Conor, and then Holloway ruined him.
His most memorable career moment is getting slept in a title fight in record time. Still the 3rd best FW of all time though.
 
Respect. One of the classiest champions ever.

Will always appreciate him for derailing the whiny Frankie Edgar's FW title aspirations.
 
Dang Aldi tells more lies than Dana White. He been retiring since Conor embarrassed him. CTE is very real, folks.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Jose Aldo is one of the greatest athletes to ever step a foot inside the Octagon, and it seems that 2019 will be his last year as a professional mixed martial arts fighter.

A former UFC and WEC featherweight titleholder, and arguably the best 145-pounder in MMA history, Aldo is scheduled to return to action on Feb. 2, taking on featherweight contender Renato Moicano in the co-main event of UFC Fortaleza in Brazil.

On Wednesday afternoon, Aldo revealed that his master plan for the year includes fighting the last three bouts he has left on his current deal with the company and walk away from the sport.



Aldo went on to say he already has someone in mind as a potential opponent for UFC 237, should he beat Moicano in Fortaleza, but his coach and manager Andre Pederneiras said they haven’t discussed any possible names with the UFC yet.



Aldo’s plan to retire after three fights is not up for debate, the former champion said, and that’s why he’s not actively campaigning for a shot at the 145-pound belt after UFC Fortaleza.

Pederneiras doesn’t believe the promotion would ever book him against current titleholder Max Holloway given Aldo’s previous losses to the Hawaiian — except in a short-notice bout, he said —, and the fact that a title win would automatically renew his contract with the promotion doesn’t interest the Brazilian fighter.



Aldo also promises he doesn’t plan on competing in mixed martial arts for another promotion because he’s “very loyal” to the UFC. In 2020, he just wants to enjoy life and focus on “new projects” he declined to elaborate.

Damnit! I wanted to see him move up to LW

Wouldn’t surprise me, especially if he can win the next 3.... If he looks for one more big contract.. either in UFC or Bellator...

I think some fighters use the retirement thing as a negotiating tactic...

It’s not out dated

The source for Aldo's 2014 weight? Aldo
The source for Aldo's 2017 weight? Aldo

It's the same source, and the most up to date one states 164 lbs as Aldo's weight. The fact that he needed a towel for a weight cut is hardly evidence that he was 170 lbs at the start of the weight cut, that leap of logic is hilarious.

You wouldn't have made yourself look as bad had you just admitted you were wrong right off the bat <Lmaoo>.
