Jose Aldo might be on a bit of a slide at the moment but the Brazilian is one of the greatest to have ever taken up the MMA gloves.
Aldo will go down as the inaugural UFC Featherweight champion and has held the belt twice. He might be remembered for the 13-second loss to Conor McGregor but there is a lot that Aldo has done for the sport.
The Brazilian was born into poverty and even an early scary accident didn’t stop him from becoming the best at a time.
Aldo has spoken about the car he had on his face, however, the Brazilian also won the title for WEC before coming to the UFC.
Aldo is a keen football fan and wanted to play the sport, but was often beat up. He grew tired and started training in capoeira to learn how to defend himself.
That love grew further as he gained the attention of a jiu-jitsu trainer and he started learning that too.
