One of the greatest competitors in Ultimate Fighting Championship history, Jose Aldo reigned supreme over the 145-pound weight class between November 2009 and December 2015. During that period, he exercised dominion as the featherweight king of World Extreme Cagefighting and later became the inaugural champion of that weight class in the UFC.
There was always an anticipation around Aldo’s fights, and he delivered more often than not. The Brazilian would let his fists and patented and perfected leg kicks do the talking when a fresh wave of fighters were getting into trash talk mode on social media or engaging in psychological warfare.
