5 years after their entertaining UFC fight, Jose Aldo and Jeremy Stephens are set to fight each other once again, this time in a boxing fight.
During his appearance on The MMA Hour, Jorge Masvidal revealed that both UFC veterans will be competing on the his upcoming Gamebred Boxing 4 event at the Fiserv Forum in Milwuakee, Wisconsin on Saturday, April 1.
Masvidal was thrilled to book the former UFC featherweight champion on his event, saying:
"Jose fu**ing Aldo. The WEC champion. One of the greatest or the greatest featherweight ever in UFC history, WEC history. What this guy has done in the sport, I mean, I don't need to tell you man. This guys is fu**ing an animal, I've always wanted to see him box."
It will be interesting to see whether the soon-to-be UFC Hall of Famer will be able to carry over his MMA success to boxing as it seems like he is committed to becoming an active boxer.

Gamebred Boxing 4 will be the second bout between Jose Aldo and Jeremy Stephens.
Their first encounter took place on UFC on Fox: Alvarez vs. Poirier 2, which saw the former featherweight champion defeat 'Lil Heathen' via TKO at 4:19 of the first round. The TKO also earned him a post-fight bonus for Performance of the Night.
Both fighters are coming off a loss in their most recent MMA bouts. Stephens was submitted by Natan Schulte at PFL 10, while the Brazilian lost to Merab Dvalishvili via unanimous decision at UFC 278.
