UFC President Dana White told media that Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo is refusing to defend his title against Anthony Pettis.
Dana just said Aldo told him he is refusing to fight Pettis because he doesn’t think he deserves it.
Dana also said Aldo will fight Pettis or he’s not going to like the way this turns out. He’s absolutely refusing right now.
We can speculate but what White probably means is that Aldo will lose his belt if he refuses to fight Pettis.
We can understand Aldo’s frustration. First Edgar and now Pettis from the lightweight division and the featherweight division is stacked up with contenders.
It was previously announced that Pettis would be drop to featherweight to take an immediate title shot against Jose Aldo in July.
