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

UFC light success Benson Henderson headlines UFC on FOX 7 this weekend against Gilbert Melendez, but that doesn't mean he's not stopped to consider his next opponent yet. In a interview with Fighters Only journal, Henderson said he is interested in a game with UFC featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo next. Jose Aldo is just a very hard fighter and he is pleasant in this weight class. I had the chance to see him fight countless times in WEC. I've no issue regarding a battle. When it happens...AI would like to fight for the Brazilian fans, he is a great fighter and deserves this chance. I would prefer to fight Aldo in Brazil. Aldo has teased a move to light before, although it seems inevitable now as UFC leader Dana White stated that with a conquer Anthony Pettis, "Scarface" might have the following title shot at 155 lbs (via MMA Junkie). Aldo and Pettis are set to headline an 3 pay-per-view with a place still to be determined. The feared Muay Thai striker, who also has a belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has gained 15 rounds in a line. Which includes six successful title defenses between the WEC and UFC. Coincidentally, Aldo's only loss came at lightweight under the Brazilian regional marketing Jungle Fight. That has been entirely in November 2005. After dropping the WEC light belt in his final appearance (that was the 2010 Fight of the Year against Pettis), "Bendo" has been on a tear in the UFC, racking up an ideal 6-0 record in the Octagon. A conquer "El Nino," the last Strikeforce light winner, might mark Henderson's third successful title defense. Henderson appears confident that he and Aldo are on a collision course to manage the other person. I hope Aldo beats his next adversary and that I work through Melendez for people to create this dream bout. I want it badly, I would like it to take place in a soccer stadium in Brazil for 100,000 people! It would be wonderful and it would be this kind of joy for me personally. After White recently shot down Henderson's request 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?
