Jose Aldo and Pedro Munhoz got on track in their last fights. Now one of them is guaranteed to have a setback in their next one. That’s because a bantamweight bout between the two top-10 Brazilian contenders is in the works for UFC 265 on August 7. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the impending booking to MMA Junkie on Thursday after an initial report from Combate . The person, who requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to make an official announcement, categorized the fight as being a “done deal.” Aldo (29-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC), the former UFC featherweight champion, picked up his first win as a 135 pounder in his most recent fight, defeating Marlon Vera by unanimous decision last December.
