Jose Aldo vs. Mario Bautista: Odds and what to know ahead of UFC 307 clash

The loaded UFC 307 lineup will see the return of UFC Hall of Famer Jose Aldo, who makes his second appearance since returning from retirement earlier this year when he takes on another up-and-coming name in the bantamweight division in Mario Bautista.

Jose Aldo vs. Mario Bautista preview

After teasing a move to boxing after fighting out of his contract in May with a win over Jonathan Martinez at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, Aldo (32-8 MMA, 14-7 UFC) opted to ink a new deal to stay inside the octagon, and the former longtime UFC champ appears poised to try to make another title run at 135 pounds.

To do that he will have to get through the surging Bautista (14-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC), who is riding a six-fight winning streak that positioned him to get a step up in opponent name value to Aldo.
