Exclusive: Jose Aldo talks about retiring and the best part of his career ahead of UFC Fight Night 144

One of the greatest UFC Fighters to ever enter an Octagon, Jose Aldo is about to head into the first of his last three fights at UFC Fight Night 144 before retiring.

Jose Aldo is heading into UFC Fight Night 144: Assuncao vs Moraes 2 as part of the co-main event of the night. His opponent for the night will be another talented individual, Renato Moicano.

Aldo has done everything he wanted to in his career and recently announced that he plans to retire from UFC at the end of 2019. After revealing his plans he said that it was because he wanted to spend more time with his family and live a healthy rest of his life where he would not have to spend money to remain fit.

With three fights in Brazil ahead of him, I was able to pose a few questions before Jose Aldo regarding his upcoming fights.
