Former featherweight champion Jose Aldo scored his third straight bantamweight win at UFC Vegas 44. Against Rob Font, the ‘King of Rio’ landed the more powerful shots and outgrappled his opponent on the ground all the way to a unanimous decision win. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the bout,
Im never betting against Jose Aldo . I don’t care if he’s fighting Francis Ngannou, I’m betting that +8000 that’s my boy ! #UFCVegas44

I have a feeling Rob broke his orbital. He looks in pain and it doesn’t look good #UFCVegas44

What an excellent fight, man! @RobSFont and @josealdojunior represented themselves, their families, and their teams so well. Aldo has been a LONG time favorite of mine and I didn’t root against him until today. But I think Jose won…
