Fun fact: Jose Aldo’s 10 years with the company, he has never dropped out of the top 10 rankings

Remember being 14-15 watching his highlights on KZhead of him just soccer kick people to death earlier in his career. Def the guy who got me into MMA
A highlight video of Aldo's career. Of course it's 14 minutes long. Friggin legend, that guy
he basically defended his title 10 times. legend
Volk will retire goat
The most Underrated "Goat" in the fight game!! Been relevant for almost 2 decades. And he's still a powerhouse!!
For real, he wins this weekend and he’s firmly in the mix for another shot.
@@rhebbhulett 💯
He is only underrated because of that 13s K.O by mcgregor imo, otherwise he is not underrated
He has to be in everyone’s top 5 goat list no matter what
He's number 4 in mine
He’s 9th in mine. GSP-Jones-Silva-Khabib-Stipe-DJ-Cormier-Usman-Aldo. Great fighter.

The featherweight GOAT and my favourite fighter of all time.
Even though he's no longer the featherweight champion, Jose Aldo is STILL one of the best PFP MMA fighters in the world, a legend and will one day earn his rightful place in the UFC Hall of Fame.
His 2nd fight Chad Mendes also deserves to be in the UFC Hall of Fame, its one of the best fights you'll ever see.
@@madgavin7568 they barely crossed 200 shots limit
@@ravinandank7809 it was still a very competitive and entertaining fight. The amount of strikes doesn't dictate wether or not it should be in the HOF.
@@gustavbrodin8628 it's a good fight, not a hall of fame worthy fight
@@ravinandank7809 I don’t think you understand what makes a good fight.
*That Chad Mendes fight in Rio was INSANE.*
👍🏿
I think Volk is the best in terms of quality of opponents and on account of beating Jose twice, but Aldo’s crazy longevity make it very close. Regardless, Aldo has some of the slickest boxing and muy thai ever in the UFC and is definitely one of my favourite fighters ever.
He deserves way more recognition
No shit, agree with you 100%. To this day I still don't understand why he didn't get an immediate rematch with Conner. I guess he didn't want it, what other reason could there be.
This man defended the belt for a long time even when he was in the WEC!
Greatest featherweight of all time, no one even comes close imo.
those leg kicks to Faber was sick .
Personally one of my goats❤️ What a amazing career Aldos had!
Jose was and is always a treat to watch. Its awesome to a legend like him making some changes to his game. You almost never see that with someone thats in the later stages of their career.
Always improving, GOAT shit‼️💯🐐
Hall of fame, legendary, goated Aldo
What impressed me most was him keeping Mike Brown on the ground Mike's a good wrestler
Anyone chirping 13 seconds has no clue the meaning of LEGACY. Longest FW win streak, undefeated for over a decade and most title defences. Jose will forever be the featherweight GOAT.
Holloway and McGregor over Aldo
@@Xjebin spoken like a true casual. Aldo was undefeated for 10 years. Has a 18 fight win streak in FW. 7 of which were title defences. Neither Conor or Holloway can (or ever will) claim that. That’s the shit legends are made of.
@@jbl00d33 against who? First time he got competition it was over in 13 seconds
@@Xjebin Really, so for over a decade he only had some competition in one of his fights.
@@Xjebin Korean Zombie, Faber, Mendes, just to name a few, need I go on?
Aldo win or lose, always exciting to watch, true ufc legend 👊
When he Knocked out Cub Swanson with that flying knee, I was a fan. I really miss the old WEC days.
Me to bro.
Absolute beast. It was really unfortunate he got clipped against Connor. That would of been an immense fight if it went longer! That’s mma though. Aldo legend
In my opinion in MMA history he's at least top 5 or 6 all time. Enjoy his fights while he's here. WEC & UFC king‼️👌🏽🏆
Aldo is still one of the best fighters today
He became Champion at same age as Jon Jones but less days most people don't know that 🙏🏼
Today finally convinced my family and... I'm going to MMA club for my birthday in 10 days!!!!
Good luck ✊

Lots of people wanna see a Diaz vs McGregor trilogy, but Mcgregor vs Aldo 2 seems pretty interesting
Yesssss
That's at the top of my list of the fights I want to see, Aldo vs Connor 2. He was the Champ for over a decade, longer than that if you count the time, he was the champ in the WEC.
1 of the greatest of all time. Imagine if he comes back to the point that he wins the UFC Title again.
Jose Aldo: future member of the UFC Hall Of Fame. I have no proof, but neither doubt.
Greatest of All Time People. And, still at the Top after all these years.
The first guy to utillize leg kicks in MMA/UFC
Not the first. The first one was Marco Ruas: who is the master of Pederneiras, who is the master of Jose Aldo.
What a Legend... Jose Aldo 👊❤👊
Aldo need more recognitions
All my homies love Jose Aldo babyyy
The greatest fighter of all time alongside GSP.
Thank you. I am tired of the khabib narrative
And Silva, Fedor, and mighty mouse. These are thee goats
Definitely one of the best and HoF in my books. Dudes reign was legendary.
Aldp vs Mendes 2 is one of the best fights ever.
i remember when conor came in with qll these disrespectful new fans who trashed Aldo. im glad even they've now realized Jose Aldo was the true featherweight king
Chad Mendes was the equivalent of Micheal Chandler at that time.
Featherweight GOAT
Jose aldo came into the ufc as a champion 👊
I hate how casuals just remember him for his loss to Conor
I agree with you, but all the "casuals" know is, Aldo didn't want the rematch with Connor, and that's why he doesn't get any respect from the casuals, or the powers that be in the UFC. Connor vs Aldo 2 would have been one of the biggest PPV of all time, but he didn't want it, which pissed off the UFC brass, and it's why they have basically, erased him.
@@keysersoze8648 wtf, stop lying..
@@kanethesevenfootmonster868 educate yourself before you ever post on me again.
THE FW GOAT. Ridiculous to think otherwise.
I dunno about that. Depends on the criteria we use to determine the goat. It can't be just title defences alone. You gotta look at the level of competition he fought (not the best), longevity too (not great) and the fact that he lost badly to Mcgregor and Holloway (x2) by knockout who some consider to be fw goats as well. I don't think it's ridiculous at all.
@@Reaching4Grapes Aldo was a champion for 10 years in WEC/UFC, only lost to current or former champions, holloway lost to volko twice and mcgregor never defended. Your opinion is Just bad
@@pedrohenrique-zp7us casual spotted. He was the champion for 6 years and didn't lose just to champions. Why these casuals feel the need to lie and fake facts just to look dumb I don't know. You tell me please. By the way your comment is just bad, for real.
Whatever buddy, have a great day. Aldo still the featherweight GOAT
@@Reaching4Grapes 1. He has fought and beat some of the best featherweights of all time. 2. He is still fighting and competing in one of if not the most stacked division in the UFC against the top guys. The fact that you're pointing out he lost to Holloway and McGregor tells me all i need to know but do you have anything else?
Aldo is a beast... Great fight... Aldo is one of the true GOATs for sure .. active fighter never turns down a fight
I still think WEC was mma at it's best especially the lighter weight classes
No doubt, agree 100%. Henderson(Ben), Aldo, Cerone, Pettis, Faber, Brown, Swanson, Torres (undefeated for a decade), Carlos Condit, Garcia, Hominic, etc etc etc.
WEC and Pride FC was peak MMA
He’s in the top 5 of all time,I said what I said 🥱!
No denying, aldo was the best 💯
Jose aldo’s leg kick was wild!🤯
What Aldo did to the Zombie really shows the mans killer intent. That gave me nightmares in the day.
In his prime.. Couldn’t be stopped.
he is the Goat best fighter in his prime , and gsp
Aldo is a legend!!
In 17 Years. Aldo hasn't lost apart from no. 1 contenders or champs.... 17 fucking years
3:24 God that's just the best thing I've seen today. Had to re-watch it a few times
If Aldo WINS the bw belt.. my god man the guy will be top 4 of all time
His hands look better now, too, which is scary. If he manages to get the 135 belt he is top 3 all time.
Underrated goat. 9 title defences n people consider max the goat? Fought killers. N is still a top competitor at 135
Aldo's kicks are legendary in Brazil rob font's legs are gonna be damage that's a given......
You know you're built different when it only takes that long for mazzegatti to call the fight
Damn if it werent for that 13 sec ko wich destroyed him mentally,i think he would still be champ.
Cant believe a lucky punch ended his legendary title run ;(
With NO REMATCH which was ridiculous smh 🤦🏻♂️. Should've got his rematch
Remember this match you just got the sense urijah didnt want anymore kicks...brutal kick's...
What a legend
Jose Aldo a true combat sports legend 👏👏👏👏👑🇧🇷
Legend 🙏🏾
People that watched for a couple years cause of how big McGregor got, have no idea how incredible Jose Aldo was n how dominant he was for so many yrs...
1 of my all time favorites my dude Jose Aldo
Aldo mendes 2 is one of the best fights of all time
Maior lutador Brasileiro da história, um mostro!!
Aldo best fw
The ufc did aldo very wrong by not giving him an immediate rematch with Connor
The Urijah fight is the only felt I've ever felt pain watching. His legs were destroyed.
and he did it all in one of the tuffest divisions
Aldo is a legend
One of my favs, historical title run 🏆✨
Insane run. Way more impressive than Conors gift career.
Agreed, and Khabibs.
LEGEND!
every time in the premium of Aldo you heard and Still it's incredible 10 years without ever losing this guy there is one of the goats in the mma it's on
This man is literally in my top 5 greatest mma fighter of all time, GSP, Aldo, Silva, Khabib, Fedor
One of the best no doubt
If he beats Rob Font this weekend he is no.5 on my GOAT list, and no one who has beaten him is above him, to me, the GOAT isn't the better fighter, that can sway based on style matchups, the GOAT is the greatest, the man who has achieved the most greatness and Aldo has achieved almost more than anyone.
@Adolfthejewbaka _ meanwhile, mcgregor is 1-4 in his last 5 fights. the hype is dead, and not once did he ever defend a title haha
Legend!
Greatest leg kicks! Greatest TDD! Greatest headmovement and striking! And greatest calf kick defense! Simply the GOAT!!!
Legendary
A legend
One of the GOATs
My favorite fighter of all time.
the 🐐 bar one
this is great
Unmatched resume
And MMA casuals keep disrespecting his legacy
I love ufc
Daily reminder that’s who khabib called a businessman
Pain
Que mentalidad para seguir ahí !
Top 10 best of all time
Greatest feather weight of all time
So he went undefeated against Team Alpha Male during his championship run!!
Feel bad for Aldo most new fans just remember 13 seconds…
I had a jose aldo pic on my myspace, if thats any indication how long hes been top tier..
That counter jumping knee is a PRETTY
