John Nash says Aldo is only returning at UFC 301 because UFC won't let him box until he finishes his contract

Rumour according to his unnamed sources, @ 8:13 - https://heynottheface.substack.com/...mpaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true

Says Aldo wanted to box on the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson card, but he needed the UFC's permission because he has one fight left on his UFC contract. UFC didn't give him permission, so he's returning to UFC 301 to finish off his contract and be free.

If true, I guess this means he's not looking to get a title shot. I figured Aldo was coming back for one payday and to fight in Rio a last time (instead of retiring in Salt Lake), but it seems it's not even that.

Thoughts?

I thought Aldo boxed like 2-3 times already?

I believe this very much, what about the previous matches, they just let him and then changed their minds because they needed a popular fighter from Brazil on their Brazil card after throwing their most recognizable Brazilian champ on literally the card before?

Fucking UFC. Aldo never turned down a fight, always put on exciting fights and gave them everything he got. Let the man do what he wants ffs.

He got a draw against Jeremy Stephens in a boxing match, I guess he's ready for Abdul Wahid now

Francis Bliss.
Now Runs PFL Africa, boxes whenever he wants against world champions.
Has as many sponsors as he wants.
and certainly not in debt anymore.
Fuck Dana!

I think we should cancel MMA. All anyone wants to do is box anyway.

Dana not wanting to help a Jake Paul card is probably the answer. He'll let them box most of the time but if it's a promoter or opponent he doesn't like he'll block it. GSP had that problem too

Dana is the one pirating the boxing event...

Yes this is in line with what happened when Aldo threatened to retire after Conor refused a rematch.

Aldo said he would compete in BJJ, but the ufc said he would need to ask permission each time.

So, I’m guessing Also got permission to box nobodies, but Dana didn’t want Also boxing on a Jake Paul card.

Makes perfect sense knowing how Petty Dana is

I love Jose like everybody else but he's not making big bucks boxing. He's not gonna fight one of the best 135ers (Tank, Loma, Shakur, Zepeda). And if he did he would get murked. No one is gonna pay him millions to fight Bobby Trashcan at the Motel 6 ballroom.

I wouldn't be shocked if it is somewhat related to contract issues. Also wouldn't be shocked if Dana begged Aldo to help fill out a card in Brazil. Reminder Periera got offered a short turn around if he stomps Hill out fast.

I like pantoja but he's not a big name. They have to sell tickets

Legit. A lot of it's Dana, but a bunch has to be the rest of the corporate heads in the org. The whole organization is rotten from the inside.

Its really the corporate mindset...its all about the bottom line.
It makes them more money by putting their thumb on Aldo, so that's what they'll do.

It pisses me off the way that they just squeeze every last fuckin drop out of these guys/girls, and discard them with no remorse sir.
