Jonathan Martinez, the former featherweight champion, will face Jonathan Martinez in the promotion's return to Brazil on May 4 in Sao Paolo-based Ag.Fight. Aldo's last fight was decided no. 334.

Frankie Edgar, the former UFC lightweight champion, lost his last bout of his MMA career after being disqualified by Chris Gutierrez at 2:01 of the first round of their match at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. Edgar, 41, took a knee to the head at UFC 281 for his first KO loss in his last match in the cage in a career that began in 2005. After the epic finish in the 135-pound fight that sparked another huge crowd at MSG, Gutierrez and Edgar shared a long hug. The brawl occurred before Israel Adesanya sustained a humiliating defeat by nemesis Alex Pereira in the main event in New York.

Jose Aldo will recall the seconds of ingrained footage of Conor McGregor bouncing back and forth before knocking out the Brazilian back in 2015. The way he tensed up sparked animosity fuelled by McGregor's verbal slaughts coursing through his body for 13 seconds. And then there was the startling realization of what had just happened as he regained his consciousness. This nightmare chapter will always be included in Aldo's tale, there is no way around it.
