At this point, it’s a headline template worth saving for every MMA media outlet: “UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo injured, withdraws from scheduled UFC title defense.” It’s happened, according to UFC President Dana White, a total of five times now. That’s not quite so bad when you remind yourself that Aldo has been the UFC featherweight champ since 2011 – has, in fact, been the only featherweight champ the UFC has ever known – but it is often enough for us to consider it part of a pattern. Aldo is a little bit injury prone. Not just in training or in fights, either.
