in 2006 zufa LLC purchased the fledgling
promotion by the name of world extreme
cage fighting higher weight division
were merged with the UFC but the smaller
divisions were given prominence on a
different platform wec was allowed to
operate as a separate entity for a
number of years in the face of the
promotion was Uriah Faber The California
Kid captured the featherweight title at
wec19 but while he was enjoying the fame
as the franchise fighter a Phenom by the
name of Jose Aldo was slaughtering the
contenders every fight ended with a
vicious knockout and within three years
although with the featherweight Champion
dethroning the guy who had defeated
Faber hey Aldo too much speed too much
power on the night for Mike Brown it
will dream come true for me to become
Champion that's all I've ever
titled Triumph was a moment in wec
history but the Highlight was his
championship defense against Faber in
the first and only wec pay-per-view
we're gonna fight our heart our hearts
out I mean we're gonna be going for the
kill as far as excitement goes I think
you're looking at two of the most
exciting guys on the planet in one of
the most underrated moments in MMA
history Jose Aldo the champion walked
out into enemy territory has run this
town Blair throughout Arco Arena in
Sacramento California once the cage was
locked although systematically crippled
the hometown favorite and left no doubt
as to who was the best featherweight in
the world your fans everyone's gonna be
watching this are you uh how are you
feeling right now I feel pretty good
yeah you know I did my best out there I
uh
you know it was in a lot of pain man to
be honest with you fiercely competitive
featherweight division now had a Kingpin
and Aldo was so dominant that with a
single defense he was regarded as one of
the best powerful pound fighters in the
world some fans hailed him as the
Anderson Silva of the featherweight
division other fans felt that he was
even better than the spider that his run
at the top would be unlike anything fans
had witnessed before
soon after wec merged with the UFC and
Aldo was crowned the inaugural UFC
featherweight champion
Scarface continued a streak from wec
defending the UFC belt against the likes
of Frankie Edgar Chad Mendez and Kenny
Florian and with every Victory it was
becoming apparent that Aldo would end up
as the greatest fighter of all time
across the two promotions Aldo had
defended his belt a total of nine times
and he was in the Uncharted Territory of
greatness the champion remains on
greatest power to pound spiders ever
despite that the talk of 2015 was said
that he did that disrespected you that
got you to dislikely this is not a
therapy session Conor McGregor
he can come back but I swear to God his
day will come the majority of this
Championship Reign Jose Aldo commended
respect from fans and peers but McGregor
went right after him
oh
obscuring his entire Legacy in a single
press conference this was Uncharted
Territory as well and the always
respectful Jose Aldo was shook up and
confused at the disrespect he was
getting from the fans from McGregor and
the UFC in itself
[Applause]
the UFC 189 mishaps added more fuel to
the hatred against Aldo and at UFC 194
Aldo walked into hell and all that he
had built up in the past 10 years
crumbled in 13 seconds
[Applause]
one left Cross by McGregor and the
greatest featherweight of all time was
cast to the Shadows his illustrious
Legacy in a million shattered peace in
his name for God and amidst the rise of
McGregor this was a heartbreaking loss
McGregor had brought everything that
Aldo accomplished into question and it
took him only 13 seconds to prove his
point what went through your mind when
that happened
the arena expects nothing else I
actually thought that fight was going to
be like Hagler Hearns but Conor caught
him on the chin and that was the end of
it the vast majority of fans all those
Legacy was a mere footnote in the career
of Conor McGregor and at 30 years of age
and a long combat career behind him
although was that a crossroad in his
life he had the option of retiring from
the sport with a battered Legacy or
chasing McGregor for the rest of his
life contrary to what people assumed
although had lost this title but the
motivation and heart remained in the
aftermath of the devastating loss Aldo
picked himself up from Rock Bottom
donned on his gloves and went right back
to war inside the Octagon at the point
we're at though like damn what's more
important me to get a couple more ego
boosts and get a couple fights I don't
know or ego boosts or my health is your
health more important or is it not the
decline was apparent his skills was
Elite as ever but his agility and
reflexes were not what they used to be
but the king of Rio refused to be
remembered as the prime victim of
McGregor his only attempt at atonement
was to fight and fight he did Frank's a
great athlete I'll respect everyone but
I have one goal and it's beat this guy
and you can bet the next time I come
here I will beat him recapturing gold at
UFC 200 against the prime Frankie Edgar
crippling the upcoming generation with
fishes Onslaught and even going on a run
in a smaller weight class and battling
for the title out of the UFC Jose Aldo
retired both these headlines are going
around I I think for for all of the MMA
fans who for a decade watched a man the
king of Rio who was unbeatable uh I just
want to say job well done from 2008 to
2022 Jose Aldo hung with the best of
them in two of the most stacked weight
division in MMA and as a testament to
his greatness Junior was always in the
conversation for title shots the
nine-time world champion was fighting up
and comers on the undercards of
pay-per-views winning most and losing
some but along the way Aldo made his way
back to his rightful place as MMA
royalty although one of the greatest of
all time the king of Rio representative
was one of my favorite Fighters WBC
watching him do what he did as fast as
he did and as as efficient as he did
levels a decade of dominance followed by
half a decade of defiance that is how
the sport will remember Jose Aldo one of
the greatest fighters of all time a
heartbreaking loss to the bane of your
life is curtains for most careers but
Jose Aldo Rose From the Ashes of defeat
and retired not only as a legend but as
an icon of our sport
to me his greatest Legacy is that he
didn't let that moment that
soul-crushing moment he didn't let it
Define him it was it was a stumble he
came back and he was still relevant he
was still a headliner he was still
dominant that to me is incredible and
that is not done by most Fighters he
deserves incredible praise for that
