UFC on FOX 7: Benson Henderson Really wants to Fight Jose Aldo in Brazil

UFC light winner Benson Henderson statements UFC on FOX 7 this week-end against Gilbert Melendez, but that doesn't mean he's not stopped to consider his next opponent however. Within an interview with Fighters Only journal, Henderson said he is thinking about a game with UFC featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo next. Jose Aldo is a very tough fighter and he is welcome in this weight category. I had the ability to see him fight numerous times in WEC. I have no issue regarding a fight. If it happens...AI wish to fight for the Brazilian supporters, he is a fantastic fighter and deserves this chance. I'd want to fight Aldo in Brazil. Aldo has teased a move to light before, though it seems certain now as UFC leader Dana White stated that with a win over Anthony Pettis, "Scarface" can have the following title shot at 155 lbs (via MMA Junkie). Pettis and Aldo are established to headline an 3 pay-per-view with a venue still to be established. The anticipated Muay Thai striker, who also has a belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has gained 15 fits in a row. Which includes six successful title defenses between your WEC and UFC. Coincidentally, Aldo's only loss came at lightweight underneath the Brazilian regional marketing Jungle Fight. That has been entirely in November 2005. After losing the WEC light belt in his final appearance (which was the 2010 Fight of the Year against Pettis), "Bendo" has been on a tear in the UFC, accumulating an ideal 6-0 document in the Octagon. A win over "El Nino," the ultimate Strikeforce light champ, could mark Henderson's third effective title protection. Henderson looks confident he and Aldo are on a crash course to handle the other person. I expect Aldo beats his next enemy and that I get past Melendez for us to produce this desire round. I need it poorly, I would like it to happen in a baseball stadium in Brazil for 100,000 people! It would be great and it would be this kind of pleasure for me personally. After White lately shot down Henderson's request for a with UFC welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre (via MMA Fighting), is Aldo vs. Henderson the match to create before the end of the year?
