Hall of Fame career Jose Aldo

Brazil’s Jose Aldo is an all-time great in MMA. The 36-year-old fighter was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame just earlier this month at UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro.

Aldo was merely 21 years old when he made his debut in the WEC. The Brazilian Muay Thai striker would earn five consecutive TKO wins and then a shot at the WEC featherweight title. He then stopped reigning champion Mike Thomas Brown (Current American Top Team coach) via TKO in round 2.

After Aldo battered Uriah Faber for five rounds, the UFC would absorb the lighter-weight division into their organization. He would then have an unbeaten streak having defended his world title in eight consecutive bouts. In a blockbuster event, he lost his throne to Conor McGregor.

Later on, he would recapture UFC featherweight gold, and then eventually fight for a UFC bantamweight championship. Jose Aldo spent his 14-year-long career either as a champion or ranked in the top five.

Bringing the curtain down on their infamous rivalry, despite talk of a potential rematch in the time since, Conor McGregor recently heaped praise on Aldo’s 2021 win over compatriot, Pedro Munhoz, labelling the inaugural UFC featherweight champion as a “real legend”.

Over the course of last week during the UFC 283 event at the Jeunesse Arena, the organization confirmed Aldo would be the first inductee at this summer’s Hall of Fame ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada – leading to an emotional outpour from the former champion.

Recalling a rather funny prank Conor McGregor played on him following his interim featherweight title rematch win over Frankie Edgar at UFC 200, Aldo revealed the 34-year-old hung a pair of red panties on the door handle of his hotel room.

“It was a bit of light-hearted fun,” Jose Aldo said of the prank. “I think we were in the Red Rock which is owned by Lorenzo (Fertitta) in Las Vegas. We were window-to-window and it was the night that I beat Frankie Edgar, he just sent it out as a light-hearted joke. I didn’t do anything with it but maybe I could get my wife to wear it or something.”

I was (called) the ‘King of Rio.’ I’ve got nothing but gratitude to the UFC and all the fighters who sent a message to me (in the video package). I’m flattered.”

Aldo is set to make his boxing debut on February 10., but said he could continue to fight in the UFC, even make a run for the title.

Aldo was on an impressive three-fight win streak over Marlon Vera, Pedro Munhoz and Rob Font before meeting Merab Dvalishvili in his final fight.

Aldo is undoubtedly one of the greatest to ever compete in the sport, at one point being on a 10-year undefeated streak, holding wins of names such as Frankie Edgar, Chan Sung Jung, Chad Mendes and Urijah Faber.
