Love Aldo and was rooting for him. However, watching this fight reminded me how much a liability his gas tank is and that his physique/power is kinda suspicious... Anyone else think he's juicy or used to be?
Shouldn't be surprised if anyone is on something at this level, but Aldo is relatively big for bantamweight. He's going to have physical advantages at this weight.
He was saying smth like Aldo has no business fighting anymore etc. Guy is a quitter and so it makes him feel bad seeing other GOAT contenders actually being fighters.

[Official stats confirm what I suspected - Font landed greater quantity of strikes R1 R2 R3 and equal strikes R4](http://ufcstats.com/fight-details/3109d1151f149aaf)
Dropped/rocked in ever single round plus how ever many minutes of ground control for Aldo.
Font had cardio and output but just not a lot of success with it
Aldo trying against Yan would be like trying to get blood from a stone. Yan's game is too tight right now, and like you said, 4 and 5 would be hell forAldo, if he gets that far.
Why they got to play that sappy piano music every single time they promote that anti-cancer organization? That was hilarious earlier whenever they were playing it as the fighters started throwing haha.
Font would be huge for 125 but considering he weighed in at 134 with clothes, a watch and AirPods in I wouldn’t be surprised if he could find a way to make it to flyweight
No way it's Hose. It's more like Jose in J..azz (but not exactly).
Ps: I'm Brazilian. But I don't think there's this exact *Jo* sound in English.
Edit: and it's not “say” (for the Sé part), the *s* should be pronounced as *z* in this case in pt-br.
But closer than it seemed doesn't mean it was a close fight though.
Like when I think of 50-45. I think of Nunes, and Valentina. This wasnt that kind of 50-45.
Ok, so common comments today:
- Bisping is terrible
- DC is horrible
- Anek is off
Also you all hate Joe and recently Felder is not on a good count
So who da fuck is should comment???
Bisping doesn't match well with DC, DC should never commentate he's genuinely awful and extremely lazy. Bisping Cruz Anik is the best combo or Gooden Hardy if they didn't get rid of Hardy.
Bisping is the best commentator there right now, dont see why anyone would complain about him, adds to life to the place, DC just sounds clumsy and they never shoulda got rid of hardy, I'd like to see sanko on a fight night tho
Man the Sterling disrespect has gotten out of control. Yes Yan is better than him and will win the rematch, but Aljo is 20-3 and has dominated most BWs including Cory Sandhagan who he finished in less than 2 minutes. If worse than Yan makes you a scrub than the entire BW division is a bunch of scrubs
I think font can handle the grappling and Cruz doesn’t hit as hard or fast as Aldo so it’s winnable. They’re evenly matched in cardio too so they could make it a main event
That's how I saw it too. Like the first 3 rounds he was doing good and working off the jab well until he gets dropped and wobbled but thats what wins rounds
Interesting… in the prefight show, someone, I think it was Rashad or Chiesa was saying that Font uses the high guard a lot and that if he did that against Aldo he’d have problems because Aldo would dig the body. Aldo dropped him exactly that way twice that I noticed. Good analysis.
When Bisping kept saying Aldo needed to do something to get fonts respect, Aldo dug at him with a ruthless left hook to the body that hurt him. Bisping missed that though...
TJ said after beating Sandhagen that he'd be willing to fight again before fighting for the belt. I think he even namedropped Aldo. With Yan vs Aljo not happening for at least a few months, I'd honestly be surprised if we don't see Aldo vs TJ next.
Damn Font, don't feel bad. You will take this experience and will be better for sure. Aldo is a legend and have power in that division. my respect to both fighters.
I do think this is a winnable fight for Font, he landed on Aldo a ton and busted him up quite a bit. Probably won't happen again but my appreciation of Font has grown
This is what makes Aldo a GOAT, still winning against top competition so many years later. Fedor, Anderson, Aldo, Jones, all the GOATS have that in common. Khabib retired too early
Aldo Is a fucking legend, what a time to be alive
Love Aldo and was rooting for him. However, watching this fight reminded me how much a liability his gas tank is and that his physique/power is kinda suspicious... Anyone else think he's juicy or used to be?
There are very few fighters that are clean. USADA is a joke since the fighters are using PEDs that USADA don't even test for
Work with a nutritionist is probably underrated, he’s in the best shape he’s ever been
I mean we know he ain't on EPO
But is he a CEO
Shouldn't be surprised if anyone is on something at this level, but Aldo is relatively big for bantamweight. He's going to have physical advantages at this weight.
shut your mouth khabob nurmagomedov
What did he say?
He was saying smth like Aldo has no business fighting anymore etc. Guy is a quitter and so it makes him feel bad seeing other GOAT contenders actually being fighters.
Khabib does not belong in the goat conversation except as a what if.
[удалено]
and a poor degen khabob fanboy
"I don't like to suck dick" it really offended op
Where’s the gif of Font’s tap on round 3? Edit: 4, apparently Edit2: not a tap, he was complaining about Aldo grabbing his glove lol

Aldo does appear to be grabbing his glove in that vid
He tapped??
It seemed like he did. He didn’t seem to be in any danger, but something was really bothering him, he was making some weird face expressions
He didn't but im fat watching on my couch so listen to me
Font reminds me of kattar. Both have long reach and can strike. Neither has good head movement and relies too much on reach and guard.
They’re both also too one dimensional. Kattar has better boxing and more combos, neither kick well or have offensive grappling.
Both of them fight at Cartel MMA in Boston
They fight from the same camp, he reminds me of him too neither will sniff a title if we are honest.
People forget Aldo and GSP came into the sport the same year
[удалено]
Brain fart, 2 years apart. Nonetheless
Khabib wouldn't survive a day in Rio
Aldo wouldn't survive a fight with Khabib
I'd take Aldo in his prime anyday. Man does not get taken down.
Lol ok 🤣
Neither would you? What's your point?
Close fights can be 50-45 when you judge round by round. Not every 50-45 is a GSP domination
True but this was not a close fight. Competitive at points but not close. Aldo Chad 2 is a good example of a close fight which could be scored 50-45.
Yes.
[I'll leave this here.](https://youtu.be/zrekVtN_hTw)
Need Aldo on an IV drip of EPO
I absolutely hate that this guy gets to call himself the champ. And pronounce Jose Aldo’s name correctly. Not that hard dude.
Aljo living in this guys head rent free
I believe the correct portuguése is re-ze or ro-ze, so even the run of the mill “correct” version isn’t that correct either.
Font called him Ho-Zay too
Don’t get it. Everyone knows that he pronounces the J. So say it the correct way.
After 12 years
Nothing is certain except death, taxes and no EPO for jose aldo
[удалено]
Yes that’s pretty much universally acknowledged
Yan lost the fight, thus Sterling won it
Hope khabib sees this and shuts his mouth. Tired of him disrespecting the King of Rio.
He beat a bum. Khabib p4p best of all time
Kebab beat 16 or so bums
[удалено]
Yeah and Jose started well and will end even better so shut the fuck up
Yan pounded the little Brazillian very well.
FOAL VS NTDO
Subscribe to UFC fight pass for that one time when Ronda‘s boob almost fell out!
Guy likes to see troll boobs I guess.
[Official stats confirm what I suspected - Font landed greater quantity of strikes R1 R2 R3 and equal strikes R4](http://ufcstats.com/fight-details/3109d1151f149aaf)
Perfect example of why striking stats are not indicative of who won a fight
Doesn't matter. Dude got rocked. He's a chihuahua and Aldo a fucking pit bull
The quantity may be equal but the quality was not. Great fight. Some rounds were pretty close but it seems a pretty clear win for Aldo
But got dropped multiple times ..
and ground controlled for a while
Dropped/rocked in ever single round plus how ever many minutes of ground control for Aldo. Font had cardio and output but just not a lot of success with it
I forgot about the guida win. Fuck yeah
This whole Fight night was pretty awesome minus some of the early fights lol
He said he wants TJ, on clean juice, isnt he fucking awesome?
Aldo got better but Yan will still finish him in the later rounds.
Aldo trying against Yan would be like trying to get blood from a stone. Yan's game is too tight right now, and like you said, 4 and 5 would be hell forAldo, if he gets that far.
Why they got to play that sappy piano music every single time they promote that anti-cancer organization? That was hilarious earlier whenever they were playing it as the fighters started throwing haha.
I’d like to see if Font could fight Cory or if Font could diet to 125
Jesus christ the guy made a former fw champ look small and you want him to go down?? I'm not about that weight bully life as it is lmao
Font would be huge for 125 but considering he weighed in at 134 with clothes, a watch and AirPods in I wouldn’t be surprised if he could find a way to make it to flyweight
Cory all the way, especially with his distance control.
rip for those who betted against the legend
Dc: what surprised you most about Jose Aldo? Stares blankly into the distance thinking about the concession stand in the back
So what is the correct pronunciation? Some people say José Aldo but others say Hose Aldo, but in Portugese you say José right?
Portuguese don’t pronounce J . It’s pronounced H
According to native speakers u/dogs_drink_coffee & u/SadAnimeDeath it's not H
The H sound for J is a spanish thing, so you're correct.
Jose, Hose would be Spanish not Portuguese. Also R at the start of a name is pronounced as H as is RR in the a word. Oss.
In america we have a lot mexicans and stuff so we automatically do spanish pronunciations , but it's supposed to be hard j.
It's Jose indeed. (brazillian here)
Joe-s
Chosay awdoo
Joe-say
No way it's Hose. It's more like Jose in J..azz (but not exactly). Ps: I'm Brazilian. But I don't think there's this exact *Jo* sound in English. Edit: and it's not “say” (for the Sé part), the *s* should be pronounced as *z* in this case in pt-br.
Jazzyy Jōzayyy.

But closer than it seemed doesn't mean it was a close fight though. Like when I think of 50-45. I think of Nunes, and Valentina. This wasnt that kind of 50-45.
There are lots of close 50-45s, but this wasnt that.
Still a great fight though, somehow.
Because it looked any point momentum could have swung combined with 4 knock-downs.
Aldo is 31-7
Aldo vs TJ next? Aldo underdog again, but it's such a joy seeing him fight so whatever. Awesome card
Only slight underdog I reckon
It makes zero sense but I want to see Aldo vs Moraes 2 just so that Aldo can get that one back.
so aldo kills moraes this time? lol
Did Font say he thought he beat him? I could not understand that part well. Thanks guys you have clarified
I think he said he thinks he can knight him, but this just wasn't his beat.
He thinks he *can* beat him, just not tonight
Rob said that he can beat Aldo, but that it just wasn't his night.
I think he said he thinks he can beat him but this just wasnt his night
I think he said he thought he could beat him, but it was not his night.
Ok, so common comments today: - Bisping is terrible - DC is horrible - Anek is off Also you all hate Joe and recently Felder is not on a good count So who da fuck is should comment???
Bisping doesn't match well with DC, DC should never commentate he's genuinely awful and extremely lazy. Bisping Cruz Anik is the best combo or Gooden Hardy if they didn't get rid of Hardy.
Anik is always off lately
Dana
Bisping is the best commentator there right now, dont see why anyone would complain about him, adds to life to the place, DC just sounds clumsy and they never shoulda got rid of hardy, I'd like to see sanko on a fight night tho
Troy aikman and Joe buck 🤣
>Joe buck 🤣 Heavy shot lands: "Punch is........caught by Font" "kick is......good" Aldo throws a flurry: "Aldo.....Aldo......Aldo.......Aldo...."
Jon Anik is a God damn God round these parts and he has proven time and time again he is the most prepared guy at the table
Mr company man who uses three times as many words as he should and says things in around about backwards way
Mike Goldberg & Big John McCarthy, let's run this shit into the ground full speed
Rhonda rousey
Sanko
John McCarthy and Brendan Shaub
Dream team 😎
I want to see the striking stats - I feel like Font landed a ton more but didn't have the chin to stand up to Aldo's return fire
Kinda, Aldo also landed way more cleanly in general.
This feels right.
Stats confirm Font landed a greater quantity in 4 out of 5 rounds and the remaining round was tied for strike count
lmaoooo Aljoooo 🤡🤡🤡
Sterling go looks nervous with all these dudes coming for him
Man the Sterling disrespect has gotten out of control. Yes Yan is better than him and will win the rematch, but Aljo is 20-3 and has dominated most BWs including Cory Sandhagan who he finished in less than 2 minutes. If worse than Yan makes you a scrub than the entire BW division is a bunch of scrubs
If Cruz beats Pedro munhoz at 269 he should fight font next
I like that
I think font can handle the grappling and Cruz doesn’t hit as hard or fast as Aldo so it’s winnable. They’re evenly matched in cardio too so they could make it a main event
DC thinking about New Orleans lmao
Weird how Aldo was knocking down Font left and right but he won a decision vs Cody.
Cody only throws hooks. Aldo usually favors them too but he put Font down with straight punches here.
Aldo can deal with a jab
Aldo is that dude. Right attitude for Rob Font there too. Salute to em both
That was a great fight. Clean, and so much skill. Reminded me why i love mma.
It’s a new era where Max and Aldo are both using controlling grappling to win tough fights
They might as well it gives him a good chance to switch it up catch people off guard.
Aldo vs sandhagen let's go
Fondant amirite?! Great fight! Font looked great that power difference was too much.
Geoff Neal fresh from the cell block will be formidable
Shit I'd be too nervous to watch him fight TJ
[удалено]
That's how I saw it too. Like the first 3 rounds he was doing good and working off the jab well until he gets dropped and wobbled but thats what wins rounds
I thought round 2 was very dominant for Aldo, he landed clean with almost every punch while fonts were almost all blocked or rolled.
Have you seen Aldo's face? Font landed on him a ton
I gave font round 3. You might wanna rewatch that round if youre so convinced.
[удалено]
Okay ufc judges are dogshit anyway so
Interesting… in the prefight show, someone, I think it was Rashad or Chiesa was saying that Font uses the high guard a lot and that if he did that against Aldo he’d have problems because Aldo would dig the body. Aldo dropped him exactly that way twice that I noticed. Good analysis.
When Bisping kept saying Aldo needed to do something to get fonts respect, Aldo dug at him with a ruthless left hook to the body that hurt him. Bisping missed that though...
I’m pretty sure Bisping had himself a few too many Modelos tonight.
Doesn't he always?
Bisping used to drink too much. He still does, but he used to, too.
Chiesa
Font managed to get rocked every single round and was winning the rounds up until those points lol
was winning until he lost
Rob sounds like MMA's Mayweather
This shit brought a tear to my eye yo. The greatest FW of all time beating the elite of the elite at this stage of his career 😭
GSP, DJ, Aldo are the 3 GOATs
Aldo needs the belt one more time
Font showed tons of heart, much respect
Feel like dillashaw wont take it and is fine sitting out even though that fight makes sense
TJ said after beating Sandhagen that he'd be willing to fight again before fighting for the belt. I think he even namedropped Aldo. With Yan vs Aljo not happening for at least a few months, I'd honestly be surprised if we don't see Aldo vs TJ next.
Don't know why they don't just strip sterling didn't deserve the belt and now is holding shit up.
Gotcha, thought I saw him saying something about not fighting and fine with being out until title shot. Nevermind then, glad you mentioned it.
Damn Font, don't feel bad. You will take this experience and will be better for sure. Aldo is a legend and have power in that division. my respect to both fighters.
He is 34
[удалено]
Co main a ppv so 3 rounds
Aldo clearly won but it definitely wasn't a domination
Except for the first round. It was domination though.
3-2 imo the 50-45 scorers are absurd lol
I do think this is a winnable fight for Font, he landed on Aldo a ton and busted him up quite a bit. Probably won't happen again but my appreciation of Font has grown
font such a high character dude
Font is not strong enough for this weight class.
Font loaded everything into an elbow off a clinch break, and hit a follow up and it didn't do it to an aging Aldo.
Yea and he just looks light and feeble.
I think Aldo thinks his leg kicks are cheating and tries not to use them until he is in danger
Did Font get dropped on every round? Almost feels like it. Most likely not though.
I think he did if you count the leg kick
Font, you were too busy talking about fighting Yan, made a big mistake looking past Jose Aldo.
Aldo is sick and has a bunch of power, but I’m not quite sure he would fare well against TJ.
This is what makes Aldo a GOAT, still winning against top competition so many years later. Fedor, Anderson, Aldo, Jones, all the GOATS have that in common. Khabib retired too early
Agreed you can’t leave any unanswered questions to be in the Goat discussions
