Chael Sonnen suggests that Jose Aldo has a strong case for a title shot following his standout performance at UFC 301. Aldo’s recent victory over Jonathan Martinez was impressive, and he has shown interest in challenging bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley. Sonnen believes that Aldo could potentially jump the line for a title shot if O’Malley is willing to consider the matchup.
Sonnen cites examples of older fighters like Dan Henderson and Randy Couture who received title shots based on their merit. Despite Aldo’s age, Sonnen is confident in Aldo’s ability to compete at a top level in the sport.
While O’Malley is currently focused on his upcoming fight against Merab Dvalishvili, Aldo might have a chance at a title shot down the line. Sonnen praises Aldo’s striking skills and sees him as a valuable contender in the octagon.
