It was badass how the Korean Zombie tried to put his shoulder back in place like that.
Exactly if you look at it he was fighting while doing it. He’s a savage
For real
Always lived up to the name
Peak Aldo was a scary proposition. thank you Aldo for giving us over a decade of endless classics and giving it your all every fight.. enjoy retirement King
13 seconds, volkanovski’s sons. yair eIbow
against bums who did he beat seriously mendes is his best win volkanovski and mcgrefor whooped then both
@@hellotron9118 He beat all the best featherweights they had to offer. Prime Faber, Mike Brown, Cub Swanson, Mark Hominick, Kenny Florian, and Frankie Edgar twice. Let alone his accomplishments at bantamweight.
@@hellotron9118 How dare you
@@hellotron9118 oh god u did not just say that bruh 🤦♂️
Zombie's heart is unmatched
@@beaualIoevv lucky elbow, KZ would've won the fight if he wasn't such a dog
@@beaualIoevv are you dumb? He lost the majority of the fight and was bound to lose if Zombie didnt come forward. Yair didnt plan for that shit at all and was surprised when he got the ko
@@beaualIoevv both of them would own you , you talk a lot of shit
🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️
@@twixyzable Nah, that was calculated. The Edwards kick on Marty was a lucky kick tho
As someone who dislocated/broke their shoulder, goddamn that shit hurts. Can't imagine how that felt in the middle of a fight, having a guy jump on you after kicking into it.
adrenaline helps
When pumped with adrenaline you don't feel that much it. But afterwards... painfull
Yeah, a torn rotator cuff is bad enough let alone an obvious dislocation. Ugh.
I bet that shit would hurt
I snapped my collarbone and dislocated my shoulder at the same time during a rugby game. I got my cousin on the field to pop my shoulder back on and continued playing with my collarbone hanging out by 3 inches
Zombie is a str8 up gangsta. Bites down on his mouthpiece & tries to continue fighting without showing much of a wince or grimace in pain, other than to try popping it back in mid-fight. Gets power kicked in it 3 times & tackled to the mat, with Aldo atop him. Still no reaction. But once it was called & over, he finally lets go & you can see how painful it is in his face. What a soldier!!! A TRUE fighter. He's such a decent & honorable guy outside MMA as well. Gonna miss seeing him fight. Wishing him nothing but the best in the next chapter of his life. And His send off......WOW!!!!!..... What a special moment, right after the Holloway fight, with the whole crowd LOUDLY singing in unison, as he lays down his gloves & cries & laughs & embraces his camp while walking out, the Cranberries....."In your HeAAAd...in your He-EE-aa-ee-EE-aad.. ... Zah..ambie....Zaaah..ambie....Zaaaahmbay a-ay a-ay!!!" That was probably one of the most touching moments I've ever seen at a UFC event. It was like watching a movie of someone's life in real time at an epic turning point. Plus the dude went out on his shield like a true fighter. Not smart to get reckless with Holloway. But you know what...he went for broke...and in REALITY...that is probably the ONLY way to take Max out. You can't do it over time, that cardio & notorious jab of his will always be there & hell put the work in & get the nod. I love that Zombie was like "f-this...it's all or nothing." Max even said it right after, " I just thank God my right landed before his." At that point, locked in a barn-burner of throwing continuous relentless hay-makers back & forth, standing in each other's kitchen, you've got a 50/50 chance. I think Max held back a little bit too, which also shows what a good person he is as well There were a couple moments where Max could've finished, but had too big of a heart to give him the true Holloway punishment. Really gonna miss watching Zombie fight. But since the Rodriguez & Volk fights, he just hasn't been the same fighter. Thank u for Everything Chan Sung Jung. MMA won't be the same without u.
As it turns up…MMA is the same without him…
Wow crazy how kz continued fighting after dislocating his shoulder like that but even crazier is that Aldo noticed when it happened and immediately kicked his shoulder and even when he had his back he was pulling on that arm Absolutely vicious
It looked personal, really
Aldo is a bich for that. He act tough when his opponent is handicap.
Aldo he knows that he was a broken shoulder he intentionaly hit him to end up the game though
with the way Aldo grew up that champion pay is everything. It's kill or be killed to make sure your family lives well.
Aldo was just trying to pop his shoulder back in. What a good guy 😂
Aldo with hair was an unstoppable force. I hope he enjoys retirement. 9 title defenses and the youngest Zuffa champ.. true legend
BRUH go look at some WEC Aldo when he had the teeny weeny afro, and was backflipping off the cage on fools....he was a goddamn terminator.
What does hair have anything to do with this? So bizarre.

@@hellotron9118 he has the most title defences of any featherweight champion ever, all top ranked contenders for half a decade, what better guys did you want him to fight? I can’t even comprehend how much of a casual you have to be to say this, look at Volkanovski’s resume side by side to Aldo’s and you’ll realise you’re being stupid - what great fighters have Volkanovski beaten that Aldo hasn’t? Brian Ortega and Max Holloway are the only two I can think of. Also what drugs are you on to say Volkanovski beat a prime Aldo, prime Aldo was like 2011-2013, he was washed in 2019 when Volk beat him, at that point he’d lost to McGregor and Holloway twice, was starting to fight bums and was a fight away from moving down to bantamweight.
@@hellotron9118 do you rub one out to the guy every night?

Very missed, glad I got to see his prime though.
Whose here after the max fight?
I swear, Herb Dean is such an excellent ref. He let's them fight and doesn't constantly over officiate. Some refs think that THEY are as celebrated as the fighters are.
Define over officiating?
Like big john
Yeah but sometimes he under officiates and doesn’t do his job at all prime example usman vs edwards 2
It's amazing to see Aldo in thumbnail with the belt Once a champion , always a champion 🏆

Jose Aldo completely neutralised any weapons that TKZ had. Such an impressive performance to limit your opponent like that.

José Aldo is truly remarkable! The absolute finest!
Aldo, thank you for what you done for the ufc, imma miss u❤
That shoulder injury was so unlucky. Hate seeing a fight end because of a weird thing like that
I wish we got to see Aldo vs Barbosa. Only 10 lb difference in weight class. That would've been such a great match up. Happy trails to u, Aldo! Will miss watching u fight but nothing but best wishes for u & your future. 🤜🤛
It’s one of those fights where it seems such a perfect matchup that you swear you’ve seen it before
Thank you for an amazing career, Aldo. The Featherweight GOAT and absolute Legend. Many people may have forgotten or just didn't know that Aldo fractured his foot early in this fight. At 2:39 he whiffs on a leg kick as kz is stepping to the side but it lands with the instep and hits kz's knee. Just a freak accident, the kick wasn't even checked. Heading into the second round you start to see the grotesque swelling forming on Aldo's right instep, a clear sign of a fracture. Aldo even slowed his low kick heavy approach for a while after this fight. Thankfully, he later returned to using more low kicks again.
Can see him avoid posting weight on that foot when they go to ground
Great assessment
Definitely intentional and definitely was a check. Aldo pretty much stopped throwing leg kicks in his career after this fight.
@dannyy8619 It really wasn't a full-fledged check, let's be real here. He was in the middle of an evasive maneuver, shifting away laterally and slightly lifted his leg simply because that was his stepping leg and Aldo happened to land the kick on the hard part of zombie's knee. It was mostly fluke and luck that the kick landed badly. It was no more intentional than zombie's shoulder getting dislocated. I'm not specifically saying YOU are saying, but people need to take their nostalgia bias glasses off for a moment even though the sentiment is high because of zombie's recent emotional swan song. An argument I've heard too often from too many kz fans, is they like to pretend like it was all part of kz and his team's brilliant strategy to injure and stop Aldo's kicks that way. All of fighting is a percentage of luck too. Not every maneuver that takes place successfully is 100% premeditated or intended to go exactly as it did. That's why so many pro fighters often don't "feel" the connection of the knockout strikes they land in the heat of the moment, especially with adrenaline flowing. Sure, they drill the combos and techniques in sparring but what plays out is often only an improvisation of what they intended.
@@vicentesalasii1480 Zombie has talked about training specifically to check Aldo's kicks in interviews before. If you think that an elite UFC fighter goes through 12 weeks of fight camp training specifically to defend Aldo's leg kicks and then in the fight the kick just "happens to land on his knee" then you're not giving these fighters enough credit. These are the best fighters on the planet. They're not amateur fighters competing in their fifth fight. The check was not a fluke. He turned his knee intentionally even as he was stepping back. Elite fighters can move, circle, check kicks, and counter back at once.
This was likely one of the best versions of KZ, and Aldo outclassed him in second gear. What a special champion.
I think KZ was slowly catching up then his shoulder got dislocated
@@Komiopa See no reason to believe he was catching up.
Having that killer instinct of kicking the fuck out of a dislocated shoulder is crazy. Seeing someone hurt bad and exploiting it as hard as you can to make it hurt even more is radical. I love the psychological aspect of it.
Thank you so much aldo my childhood was fun because of you 🐐🖤
That happened to my shoulder once it was so painful I blacked out….that dude kept fighting … my god bro
Two warriors going through the fire just for our entertainment 😱 👏 thank you Aldo and Korean Zombie for your hard fights and brave hearts!
Jose was a wrecking machine and at his PEAK at this time. Gonna miss Aldo more than any fighter so far retiring.

Same man. Aldo was just different
Wow what a fight 😬🏆 vicious! Instant classic & get well soon KZ 🙏🏻

The GOAT of Featherweight division! The King of Rio! José Aldo!
I have watched this previously but I enjoyed re watching it and you have to say Jose Aldo is a beast
What a beautiful fight Aldo is. KZ is pretty creative too.
Poor KZ's two title fights were both against some of the best P4P fighters of all time (yes I think Volk will get there), both in their primes while he either hadn't hit his prime or was past it. Not saying anyone should have an easy path to the belt but a lot of challengers have definitely been more fortunate.
jose aldo is back !
One of the Best fights i have ever seen
dislocated shoulder is the worst pain Ive ever felt
One fighter snapped his instep, the other fighter popped his shoulder. It’s a tough business.
We will miss you Aldo 😢
Parabéns Zé Aldo vce luta muito 👏👏

Don't overexaggerate, the finish only happened because TKZ injured his shoulder. Had that not happened, chances are this fight probably would have gone the distance.
@@madgavin7568 ya fair enough but still a cool finish imo. Both are great fighters.
@@MJBCity IMO a finish isn't great because of an injury. If anything it makes the result somewhat of a disappointment.
Im gonna miss Aldo man
He starts kicking the thing as hard as possible. What a fucking savage.
It really does suck how the first two rounds were uneventful and just as things were getting good, KZ’s shoulder pops out, depriving us all of an entire round :/
Omg that shoulder injury just reminded me about dos Santos same shit
Jose Aldo will always be my #1💪
Really glad that there's next to no one calling Aldo a bad person or unsportsmanlike for attacking Zombie's dislocated shoulder. This isn't some casual spar in the gym, it's for the fucking world champion title, and Zombie himself chose to keep fighting. Hate it when people bitch about that type of thing in serious matches, when people don't give up with injuries it's not because they expect their opponent to take it easy on them and avoid the weak spot.
Before Conor’s lucky ko on Aldo, jr was undefeated in 10 years and called the best p4p fighter in the world and nobody else was even close
I was so hyped for this fight!
“Aldo has not lost in 8 years” domination what a career
Respect to the King of RIO
Aldo didn't kick zombie more because he broke his foot in the 1st round. Crazy how swollen his foot got. And kept on fighting.
JOSE ALDO TOP 5 EVER
Legend ,the featherweight king, José Aldo Junior. Enjoy retirement .
respect for the winner and " jose aldo "! congratulation! but i´m a long time, a big fan from " chan sung jung, the korean zombie " and now it´s his first chance, after long years, for the title, as a true great technical warrior fighter :( oh, my friend, my heart is with you and i hope your shoulder is not a big problem... next time my friend i wish you more lucky and the title ;) greatings from germany
Aldo, walking legend. Sorta sad he retired
Classic Aldo - the leg kicks.
Lets not forget that Aldo injured his foot after that first leg kick, went right into KZ's knee. It even changed his movement and plan, how tough you have to be fight like that after slamming your leg into a knee and getting hurt. If i remember correctly he did broke his foot, right?
What a fight. Rarely seen in the UFC but you have to respect KZs dedication.
My shoulder does the same thing, I couldn’t even fathom being roundhoused while it was out
Can we all just take a look at how beautiful that former UFC title belt looks
“It causes internal bleeding in your leg instantly from the first one landed.”
The Korean Baby? I mean…was crying in the end…
Aldo was too good
Thank you Aldo 🎉
José Aldo, Na sua Altura não tem pra ele, Pequeno monstro top

vay reis napan buralarda :d
This ah lucky finish zombie shoulder got injury
Aldo feathee weight goat... unless Volk comes with some interesting wins but Jose's violent dominance is pretty tough to match
Volk already has 'interesting wins', that third fight against Holloway was an absolute masterclass. He shutout the guy who stopped Aldo twice and who made Ortega and Kattar look bad. He survived Ortega's best weapons and beat the shit out of him, he dominated TKZ. Volk just needs a few more title defences to be considered the FW GOAT.
I wonder if any of these warriors are still fighting today? I guess I doubt it. And the days go by...
