Right after Kenny Florian’s decision win over Diego Nunes, tonight at UFC 131, he told the audience he wanted to make a run at the 145-pound title. And it looks like he just might get his chance.
When UFC President Dana White was asked, at tonight’s post-fight press conference in Vancouver, if Florian would fight UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo next, he replied “more than likely.”
Aldo was originally supposed to take on Chad Mendes at UFC 133 in August, however an injury sidelined the champ and Mendes will fight Rani Yahya instead. The injury to Aldo is looking more like Florian’s gain with a potential title shot now in line.
The bout could potentially be schedule for September or October, when Aldo should be fully recovered.
