Former featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo moved down to bantamweight for UFC 245. Aldo had trouble making weight a couple of times at featherweight, so there were many fans and pundits questioning his drop to 135 pounds. He quieted the doubters rather quickly as part of the early rush of fighters to the scale, hitting the upper limit for a bantamweight non-title fight at 136 pounds.
Aldo makes a quick trip to the top of the division with No. 1 ranked Marlon Moraes, who weighed 135.5 pounds, serving as his welcoming committee.
