Knockout
Over the course of his long career which began over fifteen years ago, Jose Aldo has fought in the octagon 33 times and of his 28 wins, 17 of them were won before the final bell sounded. The Brazilian is an elite striker and is able to find his opponent’s weakness in a fraction of a second.
Chad Mendes, Jeremy Stephens, Renato Moicano, the Korean Zombie and Cub Swanson have all fallen victim to the Brazilian fighter. Be it through a flying knee in less than 10 seconds (Swanson) or a body shot from hell (Stephens), Aldo almost always manages to find his way to victory without having to wait for the final bell to toll.
