Former long-time featherweight champion Jose Aldo scored another emphatic win on Saturday night against Renato Moicano. This second-round TKO win puts the 32-year-old fighter on a two-fight winning streak, after stopping Jeremy Stephens via a vicious uppercut to the body in Calgary, Canada in July of last year.
Aldo’s spectacular win over Moicano was enjoyed by many, including a man who had fought and beaten him twice, Max Holloway. After the fight, the current 145-pound king had nothing but adulations for one of the longest-reigning champions in history.
Not just king of Rio. King of Brazil. King of defending champs. Congrats Ze Aldo. Nothing but love for you my bratha https://t.co/6ijEjBnzvn
