Jose Aldo

Jose Aldo, an Orthodox-stance bantamweight from Brazil with a 32-10-0 professional record, has established himself as a precise volume striker throughout his career, landing 3.65 strikes per minute with 46% accuracy while maintaining excellent defensive positioning at 60% strike defense. His grappling remains supplementary—averaging just 0.47 takedowns per 15 minutes with 51% accuracy but an impressive 92% takedown defense rate—reflecting a fighter built on striking exchanges rather than wrestling dominance.

Recent performances show mixed results: Aldo earned a split-decision loss to Mario Bautista in October 2024 and a unanimous decision defeat to Aiemann Zahabi in May 2025, continuing a downward trajectory that includes a 2019 unanimous decision loss to Alexander Volkanovski. Earlier in his career, Aldo demonstrated finishing capability with knockout victories over Mike Brown (November 2008, Round 2) and Manvel Gamburyan (September 2010, Round 2), though his more recent fights have gone the distance.

At 37 years old and standing 5'7" with a 70-inch reach, Aldo remains a technical striker with strong fundamentals, though his recent record of 5-3 over his last eight fights suggests he is navigating the later stages of his career in a highly competitive division.
