I agree, August is a long time, but there's a good reason. Bendo vs Melendez is scheduled for April 20th. By pushing Aldo's next fight back to August, it gives Zuffa the flexibility to shuffle Pettis back into the next LW title fight, while still giving FW contenders like Lamas the opportunity to fight again and potentially earn their way into an August fight with Scarface.
