In July 2020, Aldo lost to Petr Yan in a fight for the UFC bantamweight belt.
— Jose Aldo is a serious name in MMA. I consider him the best featherweight in UFC history, but his relevance has already faded. There is no expectation of his fight. Moreover, he retired and is now coming back. Honestly, José is no longer relevant. I think he will lose to Martinez. Martinez is a very serious drummer. He is young, motivated, fresh. Yes, no one has canceled the financial factor. It’s just hard to explain Aldo’s return any other way. I don’t think anything good will come of this. Unfortunately, José Aldo will lose. But his figure will attract attention, we will watch this fight, ”Badaev told .
