Jose Aldo, by many, is described as one of the greatest fighters of all time. The ‘King Of Rio’ was one of the most dominant champions in the history of MMA. Aldo came to the UFC as the featherweight champion from WEC who was on an 11-fight win streak. Moreover, after joining the promotion, he won the UFC belt and defended it seven times before losing it to Conor McGregor.

In the later stage of his career, the fighter moved to bantamweight and, furthermore, fought for the title there as well. Consequently, after an illustrious career, Aldo announced his retirement after his last bout against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 278.

Aldo then recalled that he showed White’s message to his wife and, upon seeing the message, her blood pressure went high. Consequently, she was rushed to the hospital and gave birth to their child.

The former UFC champ concluded by saying, “But it was after his message that got Vivianne emotional. Her blood pressure went up, and we were taking her to the hospital.”

Furthermore, he also unveiled that the birth took place under difficult circumstances. There was a knot in the baby’s umbilical cord which was dangerous.
