Veteran star Jose Aldo’s next fight will be against Aiemann Zahabi at UFC 315 in Montreal, Canada on May 10th.

The 38-year-old Aldo was last seen in the Octagon last October when he suffered a split-decision loss to Gabriel Bautista at UFC 307, but he had picked up a win earlier last year when he beat Jonathan Martinez by unanimous decision.

That latter result had come off the back of a near two-year absence from the sport while he pursued an ambition to compete in the boxing ring.

Aldo’s hopes of high-profile boxing bouts perhaps didn’t materialize as quickly as he might have hoped however, and so his most notable bout became a rematch with former UFC rival Jeremy Stephens, which ended in a draw.

Aldo did however pick up an exhibition win and another victory in a pro-bout before turning his attention back to fighting in the UFC.

Aldo’s next fight sees him going up against the 37-year-old Zahabi, who is the brother of esteemed Tristar head coach Firas Zahabi.

Zahabi joined the UFC back in 2017 and got off to a shaky start with losses in two of his first three fights, but after almost two years out he returned to action strongly with a first round KO victory and has gone on to compile a five-fight winning streak.

Aldo vs Zahabi joins a UFC 315 fight card that will be headlined by a welterweight title fight between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena, while women’s strawweight champion Valentina Shevchenko fights Manon Fiorot in the co-main event.
