Although he did not score a finish, Jose Aldo put on an impressive performance at UFC VEGAS 17: ‘THOMPSON VS NEAL’. Against Marlon Vera, the former featherweight champion showcased not only some vicious combinations, but also his trademark leg kicks and even rarely seen jiu-jitsu skills en route to a unanimous decision victory. On Twitter, pro fighters praised the performance.
I love chito but I can never go against Aldo. Let’s go!!!!! #UFCVegas17

Good round for Chito. I think that output and pressure won him the round. Got it Even going into round 3. #UFCVegas17

Chito needs to attack the body!! That’s where Yan had the most success. Zap his energy coming down to 135 lbs! Front kicks and straights crosses. Stay long. Aldo is looking really clean right now. Chito needs to pick it up or he’ll be down 2 RDs in my book. #UFCVegas17

Heavy body shots from Aldo #UFCVegas17

It’s not always executed in the safest manner possible but Aldo has turned into one of the if not THEE premier body puncher in the sport over the last few years.

1-1 going into the 3rd RD! Also in a dominant position! Chito needs something big here to win this fight! Aldo still turning back the clock for us fans that keep counting him out. #UFCVegas17
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) December 20, 2020
Damn, @josealdojunior is firing on all cylinders tonight! #UFCVegas17
— Neil Magny (@NeilMagny) December 20, 2020

Congrats, true legend @josealdojunior #UFCVegas17
— GIGA CHIKADZE (@giga_chikadze) December 20, 2020
Rd 3 should’ve been a 10-8 since it covered dominance and duration. No? I get that he didn’t do damage, but chito couldn’t do anything. Doesn’t really matter as I’m stoked aldo won
— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) December 20, 2020
Should have kicked his nerve
— Sean O’Malley (@SugaSeanMMA) December 20, 2020
Almost got every fight wrong. Lol Jose broke the streak. Got that one right. I’m rooting for @handzofsteelmma but I picked different.
— Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) December 20, 2020

Love Chito, but always got for love for Aldo! One of the big men in blue! WEC King!! #UFCVegas17

Is it just me or did Jose Aldo have a tattoo on his chest & it just disappeared after the fight. Lol #UFCVegas17
— BriannaTheBull (@briannathebull) December 20, 2020
Wait it wasn’t a tattoo! #UFCVegas17
— Niko Price (@Nikohybridprice) December 20, 2020
