José Aldo, a two-time UFC featherweight champion who made a record seven title defenses, retired following a brutal loss to Aiemann Zahabi at UFC 315 on Saturday night in Montreal. It was the second retirement for the 38-year-old from Brazil, who walked away in 2022 to pursue professional boxing and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame the following year. By 2024, however, he was back in the cage, where he won his first fight but dropped his next two.

Sandhagen was coming off a loss last August to Umar Nurmagomedov in a title eliminator, halting a three-fight winning streak. Now he's lined up to challenge for the belt.
