Originally, MJ called out Zabit Magomedsharipov but Zabit wasn't interested in the fight. He's now set his sites on Aldo. I doubt he gets it, but good on him.

 
Would be a great fight,

Perfect test for Aldo, wish he'd just go to LW already.
 
Gotta give it to MJ. Calling out all the killers.
 
At 145 Aldo should be able to handle his power easily

I mean Stephens hit him clean on the chin and he was fine
 
I'm down. Good fight.


Aldo should really move up tho.

Yep hespect to MJ

I don't see why either Zabit or Aldo would be interested in fighting him right now, but good on him for trying to get a big fight
 
Good on MJ. But you gotta lean toward Aldo on this one if it's booked.
 
If you're gonna call out Aldo now would be the time...
 
At LW this would be interesting. But MJ looks sucked out at FW. His punches lack that pop he KO'd Poirier with in 90 seconds. Aldo takes this easy.

Goddamit. Here I am not paying attention and thinking Aldo is moving to 155. Oh well
 
MJ still carries power and Aldo is becoming a bit of a technical brawler...

Good fight. I think MJ would be a live dog on that one.

He's got to have one of the toughest strength of schedules in the UFC...Khabib, Ferguson, Diaz, Porier, Gaethje, Barboza, Lauzon, Tibau, etc

Fought almost all the top fighters in his division...
 
edit: nevermind, i thought MJ was still ranked top 15

Good for Michael Johnson for calling him out but really, I don't see why Aldo would take this fight at this point. Beating Johnson does nothing for him
 
After you've faced Artem, everyone else is beatable. Even the FW GOAT.
