UFC legend Jose Aldo did not rule out another fight in the octagon 100% despite appearing to have retired at UFC 315 last weekend.

As we know, Jose Aldo is one of the best champions in the history of mixed martial arts. He has achieved some incredible things in his iconic career, but last Saturday night he was short in a match against Ayman Zahabi. He lost a very tough decision, but certainly suggested a solid effort. And they even got closer to finishing their opponents in the third and final rounds.

Unfortunately, despite the protests of many of his supporters, it will fall as a loss. Shortly after the results, it appears that Aldo announced he would be retiring from sports. Support from the fanbase poured in, especially considering everything he achieved for the first time since he stepped into the cage.
However, in a statement on social media, Aldo said it might be the last time he will fight for the UFC, and used the word “if” when describing his breakup.
This might have been my last time in the octagon.
