UFC 315: Jose Aldo vs. Aiemann Zahabi Preview, Odds, Prediction
Pick rationale
Analysis & key factors
- Jose Aldo vs. Aiemann Zahabi is one of the most exciting UFC 315 matchups.
- Aldo is trying to bounce back after a split-decision loss to Mario Bautista.
- Aiemann Zahabi is looking for his fourth win in a row.
Jose Aldo is a UFC legend, a two-time champ who decided to come out of retirement a few years ago, and who’s looked pretty decent in the Octagon since. However, he did lose his last fight – by a split decision – which is why the UFC 315 fight is a must-win for him.
But his opponent on May 10 won’t surrender without a fight. Plus, the Quebec-born Aiemann Zahabi is fighting on his turf, with the crowd at Bell Arena expected to be on his side.

Jose Aldo vs. Aiemann Zahabi Preview
Jose Aldo returns once again at UFC 315, looking to prove he still belongs at the elite level. At 38 years of age (or possibly a few more, according to rumors), the Brazilian legend is nearing the end of an illustrious career that began in 2004.
In his 21+ years of professional fighting, he has had battles with such legends of the sport as Conor McGregor, Max Holloway, and Alexander Volkanovski.
After a brief retirement, Aldo came back with an impressive win over Jonathan Martinez in Rio. But his momentum stalled with a narrow loss to Mario Bautista, a fight many felt could’ve gone the other way.

Now, he faces Aiemann Zahabi (12-2), who’s stepping into the biggest spotlight of his career. Zahabi has momentum, with three straight wins, including a 64-second KO of Aori Qileng and decisions over Javid Basharat and Pedro Munhoz.
Jose Aldo vs. Aiemann Zahabi Prediction
Zahabi’s rise is commendable, but Aldo’s superior technique and experience should see him get a win. We expect a tactical battle, with Aldo edging the scorecards in the end.
