Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of talk online about Jose Aldo and that scar on his face. I got curious, so I did a little digging around to figure out what happened and thought I’d share what I found with you guys.
First off, I watched some of his fights. Man, this guy is a legend in the featherweight division! I mean, he’s got these nicknames and a huge following. It’s wild. Anyway, I learned that he was married to Vivianne Perreira. She’s into jiu-jitsu and even did a couple of Muay Thai fights herself. Pretty cool, right?
- I started by watching a bunch of his old fights. This helped me see how he moved and fought, which was important for understanding how he might have gotten that scar.
- Then, I read some articles and interviews with him. Found out about his wife and her martial arts background. Interesting stuff!
Then there’s this one fight I focused on, UFC 194. It was back in 2015, and Aldo was 29 at the time. He was already a veteran, which is crazy to think about. I guess all those years of fighting can really take a toll.
Digging Deeper
I started hitting up forums and fan pages. Lots of speculation about the scar, but nothing concrete. Someone mentioned he retired after a certain fight, which was sad to hear. Apparently, he still had one fight left on his contract, but the UFC let him retire early. It looks like he wanted to try out boxing. One statistic I stumbled upon mentioned that he only made $421 in one fight. Can you believe that? For a legend like him, that’s just peanuts!
Then, I found this tidbit – someone said he’s often recognized by a distinct mark on his face. It made me realize that the scar is a big part of his image.
I tried to find pictures from before he had the scar, but those were hard to come by. Mostly, I just found recent stuff where the scar is super visible.
- Spent hours on forums and fan pages. Lots of chatter, but no solid answers.
- Read about his retirement and his potential move to boxing.
- Was shocked to hear about that $421 fight payout!
- Realized the scar is a key part of his image now.
- Tried to find old pics, but mostly found recent ones where the scar is clear.
In the end, I didn’t find the exact story behind the scar. Maybe it’s from a training accident, maybe it’s from a fight. It’s still a bit of a mystery, but it was a fun little research project.
It’s interesting how one little detail like a scar can get people so curious, and it really adds to his legendary status, in my opinion. It is a reminder of all the battles he’s been through. Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for now. Let me know if you guys find anything else about this!
