UFC 156: Jose Aldo Pre-Fight Interview (Video) The MMA Corner Staff February 2, 2013 UFC, Video On Saturday, Feb. 2, the UFC will hold UFC 156 from the Mandalay Events Center in Las Vegas. The event will feature a featherweight title fight between current champion Jose Aldo and former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar. The fight marks one of the most-anticipated superfights in recent memory. Saturday’s main card will air live on pay-per-view starting at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will be split between a 8 p.m. ET FX broadcast and a YouTube stream beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Aldo has yet to taste defeat since joining the Zuffa umbrella. After capturing the WEC featherweight strap in 2009 with a lopsided win over Mike Brown, the dangerous Brazilian has carried that success to the UFC. Dominant wins over Mark Hominick, Kenny Florian and the previously undefeated Chad Mendes set up the showdown with the former lightweight kingpin Edgar. Although a future move to lightweight may be on the horizon for the fighter, his current challenge is the New Jersey native. The winner of the title collision will have a strong case for their place near the top of the pound-for-pound rankings. A pre-fight video interview with the Brazilian appears below.
