Bantamweight Jose Aldo isn’t looking so good before UFC 245

Jose Aldo is looking a little gaunt ahead of UFC 245.

Former UFC featherweight king Aldo will move down to 135 pounds for the first time in his career when he takes on former UFC bantamweight title challenger Marlon Moraes next week.

Less than two weeks out, Aldo is looking pretty drained.

Despite never missing the featherweight mark, Aldo has struggled to make the 145-pound limit and even considered a move up to lightweight, which is why the move down came as a surprise to many, especially this late in his career.

Here’s hoping Aldo healthily makes the bantamweight limit without the cut hindering his performance.
