This weekend, legendary José “Junior” Aldo returns for the main event at UFC Vegas 44 – in a decisive bantamweight clash against UFC’s #4 ranked Rob Font. Despite Aldo’s status as a former dominant featherweight champion, Font is the favorite according to the sportsbooks and oddsmakers. “Junior” Aldo’s sharp boxing – which he sharpened further with by training with the US Navy – could be the key to winning this weekend’s main event!

In the co-main event, fans will enjoy two hungry lightweights who are eager to climb up in perhaps the most competitive division in the UFC.  Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya’s training partner Brad Riddell takes on his friend Rafael Fiziev!

The Brazilian Aldo has managed to impress after the step down to bantamweight, despite all the no-sayers who have claimed that his best days are now over. In his last two bouts, he managed to defeat the ranked bantamweights Marlon Vera and Pedro Munhoz. He certainly has a loss against the incredibly skilled champion Petr Yan, but looked really good in the fight until he lost.

Our betting sportsbook partners Betsafe & Bethard have the odds for the main event.

Font is ready to take on the legend

Font stated that his jab is something that Aldo has never encountered before. He had certainly had great success with his jab in his recent fight against former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt, but there are very few things that the experienced Aldo has not encountered during his long MMA & UFC career.

– [Aldo] has done it, seen it – so there is nothing I can (do) that he has not seen before, Font told MMA Fighting. In addition to my consistent jab. I really think my spotless jab is something he’s never seen (in an opponent).

Can be another master performance from Aldo

There are many who think they can beat the featherweight legend, but very few have actually succeeded. The opponents that Aldo has lost to have been top fighters who have dominated the UFC, such as the star Conor McGregor, the dominant former champion Max Holloway and the undefeated featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski in the UFC.

To succeed in beating Aldo, you need to be an athlete of a high caliber – and Font has not shown that he is at that level really yet.

As an MMA fan, you probably already love Aldo. Why not back him off before this weekend’s UFC event, for the chance to win big at UFC Vegas 44? Right now, our sportsbook partner Betsafe is offering you as a new player up to SEK 1,500 in welcome bonus – click on the link to get started!
