TJ Dillashaw “would like to fight Jose Aldo” but wants the former champion wants a crack at the UFC bantamweight title shot first.<\/p>\n

Dillashaw recently made his return to the Octagon after over two years away, and he defeated Cory Sandhagen via split decision to once again emerge as a top contender for the 135lbs title. The next bantamweight title fight takes place at UFC 267 in October when Aljamain Sterling defends his belts against Petr Yan in a rematch, and Dillashaw is hoping that he gets to fight the winner of that title match. However, the former featherweight champ Aldo called out Dillashaw after his latest win over Pedro Munhoz<\/a>, and now fans are excited about the prospect of two former UFC champions going at it down at 135lbs.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Submission Radio<\/a>, Dillashaw admitted that he would like to fight Aldo in the near future, but his current goal is to get his bantamweight title back.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I like the callout. \u00a0I would like to fight Jose Aldo. He\u2019s a legend of our sport, and we can do it after I get my belt back,” Dillashaw said (via MMAjunkie.com<\/a>). I\u2019ve actually been called out I think by every fighter in the, for sure top five, if not top 10, after they won a fight before I came back and fought Sandhagen. I swear every fighter called me out because it makes sense. I mean, I\u2019m the true champion of the division, and you\u2019re trying to build your name off me, thinking that I\u2019ve been out for two years, that I\u2019m coming off all this drama, that I\u2019m not going to be the same fighter. And Sandhagen made that mistake, as well, and now he\u2019s having to go further back to try and get to a title.\u201d<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if the UFC gives Dillashaw the next title fight against the Sterling\/Yan winner, or if Aldo gets his wish and gets a No. 1 contender fight with him.<\/p>\n
