Master Alexandre Pequeno, has always been a martial arts champion, both in Luta Livre and Vale Tudo, despite not having had enough time to train, as he was the second substitute fighter in this WEC fight, it just shows the extremely high level that Zé Aldo was reaching At that time, with a sharp shin, "Zé Aldo was a mini Pedro Rizzo a mini Marco Ruas”.

[@stephenstuckey]

Jesus. Even at 21, the skill of Aldo was very evident. The speed, the takedown defence. Aldo just walked him down and did what he wanted. Classic Aldo. Top 5 greatest fighters ever. Str8. Easy.

[@xXAmightzXx]

Indeed.

[@viirusiiseli]

Aldo is literal garbage that just got lucky a few times. He is a terrible fighter

[@xXAmightzXx]

@@viirusiiseli nice try troll

[@Bunsenjoy]

@@viirusiiseli Lol, that’s some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever read. “Terrible fighter” with 31 wins. “Got lucky a few times” with 17 KOs under his belt.

[@josielcostta4276]

​@@viirusiiseli was he lucky for 10 years he was undefeated? don't fuck

[@matheusfigueiredo8782]

Nogueira was clearly scared of him from the beginning.

[@phightphan6718]

Yup and it's rare to see that esp when your watching ufc fighting of recent times. That's the recipe for terrible disaster but then again esp at this time Aldo was only dishing recipes of violence and finishes.

[@jalenikezeue4114]

I don't understand Why won't Nogueira Fight Back 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@jalenikezeue4114]

That 🤩 Was a Beautiful Uppercut By Aldo

[@libraryofpapel]

I’m a fan of Nogueira but the 44 years old veteran was out paced and out powered. I guess a more greco oriented game might have made some difference.

[@a.j.rusinek8856]

Alexandre was 30 year's old when this fight happened.

[@jalenikezeue4114]

Was he dancing And Go for a Takedown

[@jacinaidemarcolino2435]

nessa epoca o Aldo era um matador sinistro nao deu chance pra o Pequeno que era um cara muito duro o Aldo ja tava dando inicio a uma era nessa luta

[@overtblowfish4439]

[@charleswoods8471]
