Jose Aldo damaged people so badly they wondered if their body would feel things again. Others wondered when the pain would stop.

@Leviticus posted this article and it needs it's own thread because it is fucking wild. I knew Jose kicked legs, but I didn't know about the damage he left people to deal with.

These are some of the most interesting quotes from an article full of them:


Chris Mickle:

The thing is, I had seen him fight Rolando Perez about a month prior. He beat Rolando in the first round by TKO or something, and I called up my manager and I told him: ‘Dude, I think I can beat this guy. I’m so much stronger.’


Two days later I got a fax from my manager. They didn’t even call me or anything. It just said ‘Jose Aldo’ on there. I remember thinking, my god, that’s fucking awesome. Then I found out they offered the fight to three other people. All three didn’t want it.

Uriah Faber:
That was actually the most pain I’ve ever been in, because it was all soft tissue....

Looking back, I remember actively having to hobble after him at one point. Like actually having to limp. I was just… for me it was like, alright, how am I going to hit this guy? So I just switched stances and kept trying to hit him with the right hand. Even when he kicked me to the ground, I can’t remember exactly how I went down, but I couldn’t bend my leg at all. Like, I really [couldn’t] use my leg on the ground either. I felt like I was going to pass out from the pain by the time I did the post-fight interview.


I’ve never been hit with a bat. But I think [that experience] would be kind of like how it feels to get hit with a bat. Like somebody aiming at you with a bat. That’s the best way to describe it. Over and over and over.

Kenny Florian:

I didn’t get full feeling in my legs back for months. He was kicking the inside of my leg, which affected the nerves in my legs so much that it took about a full two months to really get feeling back. It actually [became a game]. I would swipe my hand on the inside of my leg to see if I could feel it, and I just couldn’t feel it. I literally could not feel my fingers rubbing against the skin of my leg because the nerves were dead.

Jonathan Brookins:
It was unbearable pain. I’d probably say easily one of the most painful moments of my life was the freaking days after the fight.


The hardest weapon in your body that you could throw, if you’re throwing it right, would be your shin. At this velocity and speed and projection and all the weight behind it in your leg, that’s easily the most damaging weapon if used correctly. And that dude (Aldo) will, like, cut your muscle. He’ll cut it to where you’ll bleed inside of your leg internally — to where, to this day, man, my knee will still swell up and have fluid in it. It still has cartilage all out of place because Jose ripped so many of the muscles in my leg. So much blood was draining into my knee after the fight that they kept having to syringe the blood out of my knee for almost two months.

Uriah also had another quote about Jose knocking him down with a flying knee to the sternum and then having sternum pain for years. Brookins also had a funny quote about the first time he met Aldo: he always got up earlier than everyone else to use the treadmill and one day he found Aldo there before him and he was angry that someone was hungrier than him.

It's a solid read.

Aldo will always be one of the more devastating fighters in MMA history.
Dude was there to break you.

I remember when this article came out years ago.

MMA media is in a sad state of affairs, arguably the worst its been in modern times.
