UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo discusses his recovery from a back injury he sustained while training for Josh Grispi and his first UFC title defense which was scheduled for UFC 125 on Jan. 1:
"Thank God everything is going just fine. I'm doing the whole treatment regimen and I'm focused on physical therapy. I will certainly be all right... I believe that in a month I'll be 100%. I believe in March that will be ready to make the first defense, but I'm still in physical therapy now. I do not know what will happen. I don't know who my opponent will be next. With this loss of (Josh) Grispi have no notion of who it will be. I was surprised [with his loss]. I was hoping he would win, he had only one loss and I had seen several of his fights in the WEC. He always presented himself well, but that's it. Now I'm waiting to see who my next opponent will be." - Jose Aldo
