UFC President Dana White was hoping to have Jose Aldo headline the organization’s first Brazil card in the ESPN era. Unfortunately, the longtime ex-champ wasn’t into it. UFC on ESPN+ 2 takes place Feb. 2 at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil. The event is headlined by a rematch between bantamweight contenders Raphael Assuncao (27-5 MMA, 11-2 UFC) and Marlon Moraes (21-5-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC). The co-main event of the card will see Aldo (27-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) fight fellow Brazilian Renato Moicano (13-1-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in a key featherweight pairing
