Renato Moicano doesn’t think Jose Aldo getting a title shot at bantamweight is fair to the rest of the division.<\/p>\n

At UFC 250, Aldo, who is 0-1 at bantamweight<\/a> and riding a two-fight losing skid is fighting for the belt against Henry Cejudo<\/a>. It is a fight the champion called for and one that UFC president Dana White wanted due to Jose Aldo being a legend.<\/p>\n

Yet, for Moicano, he doesn’t believe fighters should be getting title shots while coming off of losses.<\/p>\n

“It is crazy. I watched his last fight against Marlon and I thought Marlon clearly won that fight. It is not good that he is getting a title shot coming from two losses,” Moicano said to BJPENN.com. “I just don\u2019t know if it is the right move, but I don\u2019t know how the business is. It isn\u2019t a smart decision but the UFC<\/a> knows how to do things. That is why they are the best promotion in MMA.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Although Moicano is not a bantamweight, he says he still feels bad for the top contenders like Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling<\/a> who aren’t getting the shot.<\/p>\n

He says as fighters it is something everyone should be angry with but knows there is nothing they can do to change it.<\/p>\n

“I really don\u2019t know because it isn\u2019t my division. But, if I was someone like Yan or Sterling, someone on a streak of wins, I would for sure be upset about Aldo getting the shot,” he explained. “I would be angry about that.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Renato Moicano fought Jose Aldo back at UFC Fortaleza in February of 2019. There, he suffered a TKO loss in the second round<\/a> which started a two-fight losing skid for him. He will now move up to lightweight at UFC Brasilia next weekend.<\/p>\n

Do you agree with Renato Moicano that Jose Aldo getting a title shot isn\u2019t a smart decision?<\/span><\/p>\n
