Jose Aldo called out former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw following his victory over Marlon Vera at tonight’s UFC Vegas 17 event.<\/p>\n

The former UFC featherweight kingpin, Aldo (29-7 MMA), entered Saturday’s co-headliner in hopes of picking up his first promotional<\/a> win at bantamweight. ‘The King of Rio’ had competed at 135-pounds in both of his previous Octagon appearances, but suffered losses to Marlon Moraes and Petr Yan respectively.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Marlon Vera (29-7 MMA) had entered UFC Vegas 17 hoping to build off the momentum of his recent first round stoppage victory over Sean O’Malley. ‘Chito’ had gone 7-1 over his past eight fights ahead of Saturday’s co-headliner.<\/p>\n

After splitting the opening two rounds of tonight’s scrap, Jose Aldo was able to put forth a dominant third and final round. The Brazilian legend utilized his grappling skills to smother ‘Chito’ on the canvas<\/a> for the final five minutes, thus earning a unanimous decision victory.<\/p>\n

Following his first win in twenty-two months, Jose Aldo proceeded to callout former UFC bantamweight title holder TJ Dillashaw.<\/p>\n

Dillashaw (16-4 MMA) has not competed since testing positive for EPO following his knockout loss to Henry Cejudo in January of 2019.<\/p>\n

‘Killashaw’ is eligible to return in January and Jose Aldo believes a fight between the two former champions makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have anything personally with T.J.,\u201d<\/em> Aldo told MMA Junkie<\/a> at the UFC Vegas 17 post-fight press conference. \u201cI just want to make a great fight for the fans. I think T.J. is a great former champion. I think this fight makes sense for everybody.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Dillashaw clearly did not agree with Aldo’s sentiments (see more on that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Jose Aldo also took time to reflect on tonight’s much needed win over Marlon Vera.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so happy for today. I think I needed to give a great show for the fans and the win, because sometimes, I\u2019ve made a great show but I\u2019ve lost. Of course, I have a lot of pressure on top of my shoulders. But I\u2019m still training hard and I still want to fight and I want to win,\u201d Aldo said. \u201cLast year, (I) was here in the same time in December, but I lost to Marlon (Moraes). I\u2019m here this year and I won. I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
