After so long at the top of the division, Jose Aldo’s recent struggles caused him to question himself.

Some matchups just jump off the page as soon as they’re announced. Jeremy Stephens vs. Jose Aldo certainly fits that bill, but the featherweight co-headliner at UFC on Fox 30 is far more than just a “Fight of the Night” candidate.

UFC 230 already has a distinctly middleweight theme to it, and if Derek Brunson gets his way, both he and Israel Adesanya will join the party.

It was back to work at Fox Sports Studios for Daniel Cormier, as the two-division champ returned to his gig at “UFC Tonight ” on Wednesday.

The UFC Fight Night 134 main card averaged 492,000 viewers on Fox Sports 1 on Sunday, according to figures released by ShowBuzz Daily.

A welterweight showdown pitting James Krause against Warlley Alves will be the 13th addition to the UFC Fight Night 135 lineup.

Jim Miller is slated to step into the Octagon for the 30th time when he squares off with Alex White at UFC 228.

Another fight has been added to the UFC 227 lineup, as Thiago Santos will lock horns with Kevin Holland on Aug. 4.

So much for unifying the welterweight belt.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will return to the Octagon for the first time in nearly two years when he locks horns with Sam Alvey at UFC Fight Night Sao Paulo on Sept. 22.
