Urijah Faber<\/a> has revealed that he doesn’t believe Jose Aldo’s move down to bantamweight is a good idea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Aldo is set to face off against Marlon Moraes at UFC 245 this weekend, although there have been more than a few concerns from fans and media members alike regarding whether or not the Brazilian would physically be able to get down to the necessary weight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Faber, who will also be fighting at the event this weekend against Petr Yan, has given his own thoughts on the move during a recent interview with MMA Junkie<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cAldo, in my opinion, is one of the best fighters to ever grace the sport,\u201d Faber said. \u201cSeeing him make this weight cut, I know that he\u2019s mentally tough enough to do it. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to be the best for his body. I remember the first time I did (135), I was over-cutting because I was nervous about how it was going to go, so I was getting too small too early. I think he might be doing the same thing. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be good for him. Hopefully he\u2019s able to perform to the Aldo that we all know, but only time will tell on that one.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Faber went on to claim that he’d be open to the idea of battling Aldo once again in the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI\u2019m not trying to fight everyone in the division,\u201d Faber said. \u201cI\u2019ve got a couple of key fights. I\u2019ve got one right now that I\u2019m focused on. If that\u2019s a fight that the people want to see, absolutely. But one fight at a time and I\u2019ll fight whoever.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Faber last fought Aldo back at WEC 48 for the WEC Featherweight Championship, with Aldo winning via unanimous decision and sending Faber himself down to bantamweight.<\/p>\r\n
