I hope I can fight on December 14, it would be a great date for me to fight. Let\u2019s see what the UFC has planned,&#8221; said to <a href=\"https:\/\/sportv.globo.com\/site\/combate\/noticia\/agora-na-att-marlon-moraes-quer-enfrentar-jose-aldo-nada-melhor-que-descer-e-lutar-com-o-n1.ghtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Combate<\/a> (as translated by <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Translate<\/a>). &#8220;The Aldo fight is not only interesting for me. Jose is a legend of the sport, a featherweight champion. He has been talking about dropping to bantamweight and I\u2019m the number one contender. Nothing better than dropping a division and fighting the number one guy. He deserves it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Aldo shouldn\u2019t have to fight 53 times before he can fight for the title. I think it would be a good opportunity for him to prove to the UFC he can really make the weight. And, if he wins, he would go straight to a title shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although many are worried that Jose Aldo <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/jose-aldo\/dana-white-reins-in-talk-of-jose-aldo-at-bantamweight-aldo-responds\/\">may miss weight<\/a>, Marlon Moraes is not concerned about that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know Aldo&#8217;s team and I have the most respect for them, they are people with whom I have always had a very good relationship, but it is the sport, if we have to compete we can do nothing. Everyone wants to be champion, everyone has a dream,&#8221; Marlon Moraes explained. &#8220;But I know him and I know this cut wouldn&#8217;t be much for him.\u00a0Really people are sometimes impressed by his cut in 145 [pounds], but as everyone talks, he overdoes it a bit. I think he could hit that weight, yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, Marlon Moraes is hoping to fight the legend in Jose Aldo in his first fight since moving to American Top Team. The winner could set themselves up for a title shot, so the stakes would be very high.<\/p>\n<p>If he does not get the fight against Jose Aldo at UFC 245, he is open to fighting Dominick Cruz, Urijah Faber, or Petr Yan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are other guys too, like Petr Yan, who&#8217;s a guy I&#8217;m looking to fight him. There&#8217;s Dominick Cruz, who is about to fight now, and (Urijah) Faber,&#8221; he said. &#8220;These are the guys I&#8217;m thinking of fighting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Would you be interested in seeing Marlon Mores fight Jose Aldo at UFC 245?<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 9\/25\/2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marlon Moraes is looking to welcome former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo to the promotions bantamweight division.
