It appears that UFC President Dana White is getting closer to putting together a clash between current UFC Champions Jose Aldo and Anthony Pettis. Jose Aldo is the current Featherweight Champion (145 lbs) and Anthony Pettis is the current Lightweight Champion (155 lbs). Earlier this week, it was revealed that both champions were not able to come to an agreement as to which weight class the fight was going to take place. Neither man wanted to go to the other man's weight class. Aldo's camp insisted on meeting in the middle at 150 lbs, but Aldo's camp only wanted to meet at 155lbs and if the fight couldn't happen at Lightweight, Pettis would move on. With White's intervention it looks like the fight will be occurring at 155lbs with Aldo moving up in weight to fight Pettis. If the fight goes through, Aldo will have to vacate his title, but if Aldo loses to Pettis he will be granted an immediate rematch against whoever picks up his vacant title. Dana White is thinking that a match between Cub Swanson and Chad Mendes would make for the best match for the vacant title.
