My favourite fighter of all time. Go get it, Aldo!

Aldo is probably the most naturally gifted fighter I've seen.

[@tupacshakur4446]

For sure, think guys like Anderson Silva, O’Malley, MVP, Luke Rockhold, Demetrious Johnson, Volkanovski, Leon Edwards are all up there as well as far as natural talent goes.

this put a tear in my eyes. i love jose aldo!!

[@evanparrafx]

Legend. Aldo has been consistently at the top throughout his career. It's truly incredible that he's at the door to another title after being in the game for almost 20 years! He's the GOAT in my opinion.

[@FR33_PALESTIN33]

The Featherweight GOAT 💯

[@yanghang9589]

Legend never die

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI]

Ive been following this legends career since the WEC days and have never turned my back on him thru the tough losses. Die hard fan til the end! Lets go ALDO!!!!

[@808waimanalo]

Currently STILL the best FW of all time.

[@martyfakenewsman170]

Greatest* featherweight of all time

[@808waimanalo]

@Peed Phd that’s contradictory. Current and ALL-TIME are 2 different things. Aldo still has 3 title defenses over Volk. And the length of his reign is unprecedented at FW. Currently tho, no argument that Volkanovski is the manz

[@seoulkimchi50]

I wanna see a movie of jose aldo. True champion. Ups and Downs and still here. Look at Conor. I see true champion was and is Jose also. After each lose, he's mental strength and longevity in his returns are inspiring. Gives me goosebumps

[@bongoking5850]

I just watched the trailer again and trust me it's far better than it shows. Trust me. Fan to fan.

[@Ar1AnX1x]

31-7 is such a great record to be honest, specially since all of these fights are against top of the food chain fighters.

[@descinerate6815]

in the UFC hes only lost to champs or would be champs, with the exception of #1 contender, Marlon, so yeah 31-7 is pretty fucking great

[@brendangray]

I Wanna See Aldo win the 135 belt before he calls it a day. He may or may not defend it, but after winning two belts, he will forever cement himself as one of the all time greats

Has a former UFC Champ ever NOT gotten a title shot after losing the belt and then going on a 4 fight win streak? Nvm the 4 wins being over top10 ranked opponents...

[@vacumecleaner]

name 1 other fighter who has been in the game so long, to have that many title defenses and then go DOWN a weight class and still show us a new version of himself? Put some respect on Aldo's name all time pound for pound legend

[@josealvesaraujo]

jose aldo falou que vai ter mais duas lutas no ufc e encerrar á carreira de lutador de mma, era pro jose aldo já ter encerrado sua carreira de lutador de mma, por quê seu tempo de vitórias e conquistas ficaram pra trás, muito pra trás.

[@thinglizzy2718]

I don’t think people realize his Coach Andre Pederneiras for the UFC title. Pat Miletch was the first ever 170 pound UFC champ, his third defense was against Andre

[@Ar1AnX1x]

I don't even blame Aldo for some of the few losses he's had for example some of them are against fighters who are insanely bad match-ups for him, like I think when it comes to skills as a fighter Aldo is better than Max but Max can't get knocked out and can just stay in front of you and spam shots and Aldo's power and speed are meaningless when Max is bigger than him and can take brain damage for days and still win, what can he do when his opponent has unlimited cardio and health?

[@FR33_PALESTIN33]

If Aldo doesn't get a title shot after winning tonight I'm boycotting UFC for the rest of the year. Straight Up.

[@DCJiuJitsuGeelong]

that team Nova União was a power house in the 2000's amazing jiu jitsu team before focusing on MMA they should have shown fights from jungle fight

this is something Tony never had he will always dump his team as soon as he loses because he thinks his team is responsible for it which makes no sense to me since he used to say he's his own Head Coach?

This match vs merab is DESIGNED for Aldo to win. He should be a slight favorite going into this fight.

[@mitkothemacedonian]

I still can't get over how he fell for the mind games of the sh*teating leprechaun.

[@saganworshipper6062]

If I was Aldo's coach I'd be having him running distance runs every damn day. At the very least Dede should bring him somewhere to train at altitude. At this stage of the game the only one that has really ever beaten Aldo .......was Aldo himself. Honestly just give him to Nick Diaz for 3 months. Nick could have him run like he's training for a marathon. His kickboxing needs very little refinement. He's thrown the Dutchie probably 10,000 times in practice.....like bruh yea your an ace, just turn up the cardio, go back to throwing more leg kicks and he could be unstoppable again.

[@RedceLL1978]

only time I wasn't a fan of Pederneiras was when Aldo fought Holloway both times. Aldo wasn't having success at Holloway's range and kept stepping into the pocket to land but Holloway kept stopping him with the long end of his jabs. Pederneiras didn't switch up the game plan and unbelievably, told Aldo to double down and keep moving forward and pressuring Holloway, which already wasn't working as we could all see. it was one of the dumbest corner moments I've ever seen from him and it was exactly what got Holloway the finish. because of Pederneiras sending him straight into the same punches Holloway was consistently landing the whole fight without a real game plan. I respect everything Pederneiras has done for Aldo but he has never shown that he's a coach that knows how to adapt Aldo's style to the reach of much longer and taller guys. he shouldn't be beyond criticism for that. all that said, he's a guy who has changed the lives of alot of kids in Brazil and kept them off the streets and for that, he is a great person who deserves alot of praise.

[@mikeclizzy2138]

dude should get more respect for what hes done

[@SpookyRedz]

Aldo is one of the best ever , we would have liked to seen a Conor rematch cause I think Conor got lucky with that one punch take away that one punch different fight

Merab is more like a Lightweight , the way he holds on to muscle on his cuts

สวัสดีครับ

[@Disciple793]

Dede is wrong. To become champion again you don't have to change weight classes. You should have trained Aldo from the beginning to not abandon his bjj. Add some grappling too. That's how you stay champion.

[@Ar1AnX1x]

Aldo could be a bigger earner if he learned English and talked, not like Trash Talk, just talk as himself.

[@valcso8738]

Aldo is going to knock out Merab and then he'll smoke TJ

Really hope what happened to Barbosa does not happen to Aldo. Getting mauled by a up and comer high-level grappler
