About Jose Aldo
Brazilian mixed martial artist José Aldo da Silva Oliveira Junior, also known by his stage name Jose Aldo, is thought to be worth $10 million. After the UFC/WEC merger, Jose Aldo became the inaugural featherweight champion of the organization. In 2009, Aldo received the Sherdog Fighter of the Year award.
Even champions in MMA generally don’t differ all that much from one another. A little bit more heart, greater work ethic, or better trainers are often the smallest things that set them apart. In fact, it’s probably because of these tiny things that most athletes are so detail-oriented. But occasionally you come across a boxer who is so gifted that he stands out from the competition.
In his professional MMA debut on August 10, 2004, Aldo knocked out Mario Bigola with a head kick at just 18 seconds of the opening round of EcoFight 1. He actually prevailed in his first seven fights before being defeated by rear naked choke by black belt in Luta Livre Luciana Azevedo at Jungle Fight 5. Before making his WEC debut against Alexandre Nogueira, Aldo won three straight fights. He defeated Nogueira via TKO.
With an undefeated 8-0 record and the WEC featherweight championship trophy, Aldo concluded his WEC tenure. Along the process, he defeated well-known combatants like Urijah Faber, Mike Brown, Cub Swanson, Jonathan Brookins, and Manvel Gamburyan through technical knockout (TKO) (decision). Aldo was declared the UFC’s champion as soon as the WEC was absorbed by the organization.
Although Jose Aldo holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, his expertise in Muay Thai and hitting is what makes him famous. We’re talking about a fighter who has the technical ability to use both hands and legs to strike. Aldo also has an explosiveness when he connects that puts most opponents on the ground.
He is a striking powerhouse with excellent takedown defense and ground abilities, to put it simply.
Aldo has occasionally been referred to as the greatest featherweight in MMA history. Jose Aldo’s net worth is projected to reach $10 million as of 2023. Jose has come back stronger than ever following his defeat to Conor McGregor in 2015.
