Despite the loss in his previous fight, Henry took the opportunity to call out Jose.
Jose Aldo originally was a featherweight fighter. He decided to drop to Bantamweight after his loss. Unfortunately, his debut fight at bantamweight didn’t turn out so well either, it too ended in a loss for him.
The fans don’t think even after all these failures, Jose deserves a shot at the title.
But to justify this, Yoel is getting a title sot at Adesanya despite his 3 fight losing string. And Jose is a vet, let’s cut him some slack.
Henry hasn’t fought since UFC 238 as he’s been sidelined with a shoulder injury. In his last fight, Henry took the fight in the fourth round against Marlon Moraes. Both fighter’s previous fights were against the same opponent and now they take on each other.
