There is a scene at a bar that remind me "jean claude van damme" movies. He fought like 5 guys at once and did some flying shit. They said that the movie was based on a true story, if that is true José Aldo is like a superman at best.
But at the time he was not that skilled in the stand up. More like they messed up that part of the movie.
ok, ofc most ppl here dont know Aldos background. If you have some free time and kinda like these stories of poor ppl who fought hard and made their money/fame, go ahead and watch, its interesting. Aldo was a member of a soccer fan/gang base of the most famous soccer club in Brazil. These guys have strong rivalries with fan bases from other clubs, which result in heavy clashes, every now and then someone dies and several are badly hurt, police involved and so on. There are obviously no rules in such fights neither different weights lol, its a life or death thing. He was such a badass - even having a huge size disadvantage over most guys - that at some point he became a professional. He was born in a poor state north of brazil, moved to Rio de Janeiro and the rest you know. Intersting story.
