The former UFC Featherweight king Jose Aldo even entered the promotion as a champion. The initial part of his career showcased his superb in-octagon skills, with his damaging leg kicks being one of its key features. But, a lot would agree that ‘Junior’ didn’t quite have the kind of ending to his UFC career that he would have liked. During the later years of his tenure, the Brazilian picked up quite a few losses, notably his title loss to the UFC star, Conor McGregor. It somewhere compromised the ‘almost unbeatable’ factor which people saw in his initial fights.
Aldo is still under contract with the UFC contract with a single bout remaining in it. But he was also granted permission to move to other sports if he wished so. ‘Junior’ has often been vocal about his love for boxing. Understandably, his departure from UFC hinted that he would probably opt to box next. The speculations of a lot of fans finally turned true recently, when Aldo made his pro boxing debut. Moreover, he also managed to get the better of his opponent, which created massive headlines in the MMA world.
