@@shanesmokes6447 he is on mid 30s and he has a really big mileage, he lost to Connor in 2015 that's so much time in fighting and before that he had 8 to 10 tittle bouts probably, he is doing high level for over 10 years by now... That's impressive

Legendary run. Those WEC boys were no joke. Henderson, Pettis,Swanson, Wineland,Faber,Cruz. Meen I could go on. They produced a lot of great fights over there. I felt sorry for Cub he never got a chance to fight. I feel sorry for you if you didn't get to see WEC's run.

Aldo's WEC run and UFC reign is the reason why he is the featherweight goat. I know this is mostly underrated, but this video also reminded me how great of a commentator Frank Mir is. Wish he continued that instead of fighting.

I see his WEC fights and think "wow, he's really slowed down compared to then", and then I remember he's still very fast at 35. Sign of a GOAT contender is how he's made technical improvements to cover for his age and declining physical prime, agaisnt increasingly better competition, while also remaining on top.

If there one fighter in mma that deserved an emmediate rematch after losing a fight it Aldo after the Mcgregor fight to show that the one punch landed was a fluke and would likely not happen again!
0:37 "steve mazagatti is gonna step in here" Steve Mazagatti: "no i'm not"
Makes me miss old school WEC. Watching Aldo, Cruz, Faber, etc.
Man Aldo was an absolute assassin back then, he's slowed down now and pick more of his exchanges wisely but damn, he was knocking out dudes left and right
Aldo is a living legend!
One fight (Mcgregor) does not define your whole career. To me he’s the GOAT featherweight
Aldo built that division! Much respect, what a legend!
Wow, I was really impressed by how good WEC commentary was. It was way better than early UFC commentary with Rogan and Goldberg
GOAT and he is still killing the game
Holy shit his WEC run was pure violence
The real goat..he fought high caliber fighters in their prime and defended the belt multiple times..a true champion defends the belt not just win it..
I mean honestly this guy was in another level. Forget about Connor, Holloway, Khabib. This guys was the real deal. A beast.

"Forget Connor holloway khabib...." Just delete a history of champs for one idiot.
You just don't get any better than prime WEC Jose Aldo. Dude is a legend and still smashing fools in the Bantamweight division while probably being the best featherweight ever to set foot in an octagon.
Aldo the featherweight goat!
Legendary, and one of my favourites 🏆🔥

Aldo's my boy. Always loved watching him do work.
He must have broken a bones in Cub’s face because I don’t think I’ve seen that from a fighter before. That was incredible to see.
His run was legitimately the same as Khabibs was. If Aldo retired after fighting Mark Hominik (three title defenses)then he would have been just as dominant as Khabib had been. (Jose aldo would have been 19-1 but even then half of Khabibs wins are cans so there's that) Also if you don't count WEC then after his win over Chad Mendes the first time (Three ufc Title defenses) he would be 21-1 and still just as dominant as Khabib.

This isn't even counting after three title defenses if he retired after his seventh UFC Title defense Chad Mendes 2 then he would have been 25-1. Granted people would have said he ducked mcgregor but that's what people are saying about how Khabib ducked Charles Olivera.

Still the best leg kick P4P. Nobody in any division ever has been so consistent in sending fighters flying with a leg kick.
Man...seeing 2009...then seeing what he did a couple weeks ago. GOAT status is secured. the cherry on top would getting the strap. but it's not even necessary at this point. his legacy is cemented
I absolutely love Jose Aldo. He’s my favorite fighter of all.
He was my favorite fighter during these times. Miss these days
Still going strong and is in the top 5 in a new and improved division. What a fantastic fighter 👏.
Why does everyone sleep on this legendary fighter and greatest featherweight of all time
WEC was awesome growing up. So many wars. So many upsets. So many talented fighters that ended up having long successful careers. I remember being 11 years old and always watching it when it was on. One of the craziest moments I saw was The first fight Mike brown had with urijah faber. it was such a huge deal at the time. Brown came in and upset Faber who was the face of the company. The golden boy of WEC. The California Kid. On top of that it proved not just to be an upset when Mike Brown ended up beating faber twice. after the second Win over Uriah and second title defense it had then landed him on a 10 fight win streak. Strong powerful wrestler with a big right hand. I Didn’t know who was gonna stop him. He was just a solid tough fighter. Strong as an OX. Then this Brazilian dude José Aldo came in like a tidal wave and practically jogged his way to a championship fight. After destroying everyone in front of him Aldo then went in there and made easy work of Mike Brown as you can see. Props to Mike for winning the belt and defending it twice. Guy for sure had an unbelievable run. It’s just that at a young age I realized there is different levels to MMA. Jose was just on another tier. Mike Brown for sure made a statement though. WEC champ with 2 wins over Faber. Guy was a stud. All in all though…Jose’s run through WEC of pure Dominance was one of my favorite moments growing up while first getting into MMA. The guy just seemed to have the complete package. He could do it all. Killer instinct and everything. Just a young hungry fighter who was on some assassin shit in the cage. I couldn’t even believe what I was watching. No wonder he is now a hall of famer. One of the best to ever do it. One of my favorite fighters ever.

The way Aldo is still looking sharp even at 10lbs lighter, a whole decade later, is incredible. Hes still coming up against top competitors and showing them the levels to MMA. He might not be the GOAT but if you're doing a Mount Rushmore of MMA he has to be up there IMO

He's in my top 5 goat. With GSP jones dj silva. Fighting for nearly 2 decades n is still fighting top competition.

BEAST
The WEC Aldo would demolish the current UFC featherweight division.
Real champ 🏆
11 years in the UFC and Aldo has never been outside the top 5. He also has only ever lost to guys who have won titles (with the exception of Moraes, who still fought for a title)
Super knockouts
Everyone has their time to shine and then, in a moment it seems, it's gone, and it's time for someone else.
That flying knee in the first second of the fight was sick he hit him with both knees while he was mid-air
He was UNSTOPABLE that time
🐐🐐🐐
I miss WEC.
It's crazy how today's commentators constantly refer to max holloway as the featherweight goat. Aldo's run was just legendary and he is easily the featherweight goat
