It took some time, but Jose Aldo has finally joined Reebok. According to Combate, the former UFC featherweight champion had been in negotiations with them for the past year and finally settled for a two-year deal.

Even though the negotiations began back when Aldo was still the titleholder in the 145 lbs division, the brutal knockout loss to Conor McGregor last December did not halt the conversation with Reebok.

Now, Jose Aldo joins Ronaldo Souza, the first Brazilian fighter to agree to the deal, bantamweight prospect Thomas Almeida, and his teammate at Chute Boxe, Felipe Arantes. The official announcement should come in a press conference this Thursday, held by Reebok with all four fighters present.

Aldo has been critical in the past about the UFC's sponsorship deal with Reebok, calling it "sh*t" and saying that the fight kits "suck" and make them look like Power Rangers.

Since losing to Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo has not been scheduled for a next fight, although he does insist on a getting a rematch with "The Notorious" or a new title shot at featherweight, no matter the opponent.
