UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo will fight in Toronto.

UFC officials today announced the WEC's final 145-pound champion will make his octagon debut at UFC 129, which takes place April 30 at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Aldo will face an opponent yet to be determined, though UFC president Dana White recently announced that if Mark Hominick is victorious at Saturday's UFC Fight Night 23 event, the Canadian slugger will earn the slot.

UFC 129 is headlined by a welterweight title fight between champion Georges St-Pierre and top contender Jake Shields.

In addition to the announced addition of Aldo, UFC brass also officially added four more fights to the card: Phil Davis vs. Matt Hamill, Mark Bocek vs. Ben Henderson, Jason MacDonald vs. Ryan Jensen and Brian Foster vs. Sean Pierson.
