One of the best fights, i've EVER watched: Brazilian crowd was wild, Chad was hungry vs Aldo on his prime, what a Beast
It was an awesome fight. This was the fight I really came to appreciate Jose Aldo. He was very respectful of Chad Mendes, which I always find pretty damn cool. I have little time for the b******* hyping the fight bad blood crap that we have to listen to all the time.

Forrest Griffen VS Stephen Bonner in the ultimate fighter was the best fight I've ever seen. The most action I've seen in a fight ever. And it went to decision
@@matthewgates7680 And what does that have to do with Parysian?
Although I'd consider myself a hardcore fan now, I was one of the people who was introduced to mma by the McGregor V Aldo fight so I never got to experience the reign of aldo at featherweight, but watching this preformance among some of his other older fights I can absolutely see why people have Jose in their goat list.
i became a hardcore mma fan in the late 2000s and aldo instantly became my idol in the WEC. followed his reign all throughout. every "13 seconds" comments annoyed me so much, i hated all conor fans 😅
Connor pre- defeated Aldo psychologically - no way, Connor could have won that fight against a clearly superior fighter like Aldo, hadn't been for his psycho-bullying skills. Regarding MMA Aldo is the real deal.
Its always been crazy the distance Aldo can cover and the speed and power he has flat footed and standing straight up at times. He’s just a different athlete like Romero. When he decides to explode it’s fast violent and accurate!
Its the power he brings to those kicks out of nowhere that just blows my mind.
And then Conor came and KO'ed him in 13 seconds...
@@ochiet77 then Diaz and khabib made Conor tap like a chicken 🐓😂
@@mikel.5414 Eh, Conor at 155+ is trash, dude was a monster at 145 though. I like old Conor, this new one isnt as much fun to watch.

I’ll never forget watching this fight, it was amazing! Sadly the next mma fans will forever disrespect Jose Aldo but he will always be the legend in my book
He cheap shotted Chad... How can you respect that
TheMasterBakers you literally just proved my point. it looked like a major cheap shot but even Dana white said the crowd was so loud you couldn’t hear the buzz. This is why also did not get any consequences for this

One of my favourite fights of all time...the atmosphere even through a screen seems incredible
I agree, that arena was rocking.
This is why Conor worth every penny of his money, these two midgets were jumping for an half an hour in a cage, no finishes. Conor butchered them both.

Some of the best commentary in the UFC. These guys did a great job.
goldie did a great job. rogan would have ruined this with screaming
Every punch in the first round felt like a KO was coming! Inane! This one much like Lawler vs Rory took a lot out of both of them. So many wars. Once Aldo got to Connor and Robbie got to Woodley they had just been in the trenches for so long. The pace, hand speed and power in this fight is ridiculous!
Right
But i think Aldo was juiced up here. Before USADA days. He was also young. Like 26-27 here. Prime age i truly believe. On speed and durability. Last thing to go is power.
Now Jose fights at 135. Which is crazy! And Conor still the only one to ko him. Max tko'd him. This fight was epic tho. Miss Chad. Always liked him and rooted for him.
@@too_sturdy if jose was doing steroids which i believe he wasnt hes made a crazy comeback (post USADA) hes not old in terms of age of fighters but the competition hes fought over the years is already worthy of being one of the goats of mma and to see him move down to 135 is crazy but i feel like its a better weightclass for him now (guys at 145 just seem to be getting bigger and stronger)
in my opinion had Mendes had a full camp he beats McGregor.
Mendes won both rounds against Mcregor until he got caught.
Mendes even said afterwards that he went for the guillotine because he knew he couldn’t go all 5 rounds.
Also he’s the only person to knock Volkanovski down. He won both rounds in that fight as well until getting finished.
I know he lost both fights but what my point is, is that he’s probably the best to never have won a belt.
Nah, max was just a way superior fighter compared to Aldo.. Connor had nothing to do with the way Aldo has been put to shame by max and yan.. They're just the better fighters. Prime aldo would not beat max, volk, or even yan..
@@anton-th8yl prime Aldo used to throw alot of low kicks. Prime Aldo is better than Max Holloway.
Damn, Jose Aldo vs Chad Mendes was the biggest rivalry in Featherweight division, this fight won the award of fight of the year in 2014 for a reason, the power of their attacks and defense, the heart of both warriors, the techniques of wrestling, jiu-jitsu, Muay thai and boxing, we see it all in this battle. This is the best Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes we ever seen because they bringed everything they got. This fight is truly a masterpiece of MMA alongside with others legendary battles.

2 extra strikes that did real damage but cries about a small cup kick grazed by toes and bitches, roles around, like he took the shin or knee kinda fucked in my opinion 😅

You don’t know what underrated means
Nah Woodley vs Thompson 1 is
This and Weidman vs Machida. This one at least gets talked about but Weidman vs Machida never does.
@William Robert Machida came back in last 2 rounds and the entire momentum and atmosphere went nuts as he started landing big shots as Weidman started to gas in last 2 rounds. It was a great high level fight.
@William Robert Yeah thats fair. Its just even that year people just forgot about it and that was when the UFC was sucking a bit.
These two were amazing athletes in their prime. I think the lead up to fight, and then eventual loss to Conor broke Aldo mentally, but before that point during his title reign, he was truly something to behold. If you go back even further to his WEC days, he was a completely different animal. The way he fought was so ferocious. Mad respect to a true legend.
Alo never got broken a bit, you probably never saw his fights after Conor regained his belt and dismantled top 5 guys and both featherweight and bantam weight
Conor was just disgusting
Disgrace to the sport
His way is to unleash negativity disrespect just to divert one's attention
@@YOU-qp8fpwell his way of bringing fans to the sport brought big numbers and attention and money towards ufc
"broke Aldo mentally..."
LOOOOOOL
Though he was shitty to Aldo during the pre fight conferences, he was actually hella humble and kind to Aldo after the 13 second loss.
"I am always cocky in preparation and confident in preparation yet humble in victory OR defeat"
These fighters move so quickly that I actually thought my playback speed was on 1.25

Iza brave
Poor guy never won a UFC title, and is forgotten by most fans nowadays who remember him more as just another stepping stone for Conor McGregor. Mendes had so many 'what ifs' in his career its not funny, he gave Aldo a serious run for his money, had potential outside of Team Alpha Male (who held his career back later on) and had the opportunity to finish Conor by ground and pound instead of the guillotine which cost him the fight.
@@madgavin7568 are you joking? He gasses quick! That’s why he always loses.
Incredible fight. Aldo is absolutely the FW GOAT of MMA! Extremely dominant and consistent over not only his 10yr undefeated run but to this day. New dogs matchup with him thinking he is a name for them to step on and he crushes them and out classes them. He is one special fighter that's for sure. They don't come around often (Fedor, Anderson, Aldo, GSP to name a few).
Mustve been a missed translation because Max Holloway wins that
@@tipoftheiceberg7034 max is one of the top fw all time but Aldo is the goat. Defended his belt 9 times compared to Holloways 3

Except a shite ref.
I know he took a lot of damage throughout this contest, but this is the scariest version of Aldo we've ever seen imo. It felt like he combined early Aldo with championship-calibre Aldo; throwing everything into every punch and leg kick, and varying up his combinations to go for finishes like WEC Aldo used to, and at times, we also see the calculated Aldo who showcased gorgeous head movement, a wicked jab, blindingly fast counters, and an ability to slow the pace down just enough to force his opponent to fight at his clip.
So the fact that Mendes still gave him heaps of trouble is just a testament to 2014 Mendes' skills (and juiciness).

@@OkOk-vj9db nj
Facts bro. Dude rocked mendes way after the bell. Big baby
I miss that era so much
Sometimes is so easy to forget how confident Aldo was...
All that was left in our collective MMA memory is what happened to him during and after the McGregor fight...
Only casuals remember him for the McGreggor loss.
Honestly that made mcgregor a fuckin bitch in my eyes
Well the two losses to Max Holloway didn't help either. But at least Aldo was constantly able to re-invent himself after a loss and comeback stronger. Now with his recent retirement, most fans will acknowledge that Aldo was not merely a highlight for Conor but a legend of the sport and one of the greatest to ever do it. Aldo is a future Hall of Famer and we're looking forward to his induction.
"left in our Collective MMA memory" speak for yourself mate, do you mean for the short-sighted and ignorant brains out there? Aldo fights like his life is on the line every time and you know you're in for a good time when he fights. Pre-Conor era, Aldo was a force to respect he won the Featherweight Division twice in 2010 and 2011 if I recall correctly, something which nobody had previously done before. I like Conor but Aldo deserves recognition for his success, likewise with Conor. I really dislike when people shit on Aldo for the 13 second fight with Conor, I reckon Aldo would of flattened Conor if the fight continued but we'll never know now unfortunately.

This was the best both aldo and Mendes have ever looked. Such a good battle between the two top guys at the time. Not many top guys today could beat these two at this point in their careers.
Theyre both champs in my eyes. Both men fought through some huge shots!

Soo true ! xD so beautiful 😍 . My favorite moment of the fight besides the fight ..
Pretty crazy there was no point deduction for those 2 late punches after the bell in round 1
*This is the second time I'm editing this comment because there are some incredibly stupid people on here and I'm shocked by the fact that I even need to explain this to people. So, again, here is what I meant and I'm going to try and explain it as simply as possible for the little kids commenting in here who clearly have no understanding of fighting or the world in general. Here it goes: Aldo began to throw a combination right before the bell rang. As he was executing his combination, one or two punches (I don't remember which nor do I care enough to go back and watch the thing again) landed after the bell. The momentum of the combination drove him forward. He was clearly in the moment and couldn't perceive and react like the people sitting at home watching. Also, there could have been several other factors that could have contributed to the late punches. Factors such as maybe he didn't hear the bell ring? That is perfectly plausible as sometimes it is so defeaning in the arena that people may not even hear the bell. He also could have been so focused on the fight that he simply didn't expect the bell to ring or even paid attention to what was going on around him. Aldo and Mendes are fighting. They are focused on each other. They're not necessarily aware of what is going on around them. They are focused only on each other. I'm sure I'm going to have to edit this again at some time but I hope this clears at least some things for people reading this.

McGregor was a machine yes, but Aldos career has been far more impressive. Aldo was undefeated for 10 years, mcgregor has lost more than him and never defended a belt. So far, Aldo has a far more impressive record than Connor. You’re a blind fanboy. I love McGregor as a fighter but you gotta respect Aldo....Connor got a lucky punch in that fight and got in aldos head. Doesn’t mean Aldo is bad at all, he’s one of the greatest

one of the greatest fights I've ever seen.
One of the greatest UFC fights for sure.
Aldo's body shots, absolutely beautiful...still are
God damn man, watching these old aldo highlights it’s so hard to imagine aldo could ever make 145 let alone 135 later on... he’s so deezed
"PHONES ONLY" lol
Yup
? What you mean
@@The_Primary_Axiom the comment section is in a different spot now and you have to literally touch or click it to even look at them instead of just scrolling down
Jimmy Tweedale Jimmy Tweedale Yea it’s been like that for awhile now I noticed. But not on my iPad I’m sure also not on PC only on my phone. Its for mobile devices only.
@@The_Primary_Axiom yeah im only using a phone
5:49 Listen for the bell Mr Aldo!
Defend yourself at all times, Mr Mendez
everyone who was there that night said it was deafeningly loud in that Arena. Dana, Marc Goddard, etc said they could barely hear the bell
@@andrewford80 shouldn’t have to defend yourself after the buzzer because the rounds over?
@@olliegrigg6752 He was saying he should have to defend himself, not that he doesn't
this is what GREAT ufc commentary sounds like
One of my all time favorite UFC fights! Jose Aldo with a masterclass performance and win. 👏👏👏👏👑🇧🇷
This fight is like watching a dope ass movie that nobody else has heard about. Such an underrated classic.
All of the McGregor wagoners dont know how badass of a champ Aldo really was
@William Robert McGregor would have still fucked him up lol. McGregor also beat Max with an injury with ease. Mcgregor destroys Aldo 10 out of 10 times
@William Robert Because he won. Why would he find an excuse
@William Robert Admit it. Conor will beat Max any day of the week. He beat Eddir and Distin with ease. Dustin beat Max with ease as well. Conor's striking is way above everyone in the 2 divisions
@William Robert You're clearly biased lol. Conor would absolutely destroy Max 11 out of 10 times.
This is MMA. My favorite fight and I think it is the best fight ever in MMA history.
The greatest fight of all time in featherweigh history
,
Two great fighters in their prime right here.
27:20 a wild McGregor appears
Good catch. His reactions to this fight are hilarious. Almost like a little kid.
Clint Davis Only someone who truly loves the sport of fighting will react like that 🤣
@@native00 before he loved money and fame more
Mr Boombastic It comes with being successful fighter might as well take full advantage of it
He was complaining about how Aldo was looking to the ref the whole fight
Excellent fight. Two tough, brave skilled warriors. Aldo possesses pretty advanced boxing skills. Good combination punching and decent head movement.
Lord jose Aldo 🏆
i love both of these combatants....what a match! excellent
Aldo moves in 2x speed, jesus
Such a great fight. Amazing performance by both fighters.
jose aldo is a legend
This has to be one of the best pieces of evidence for the utility of eye jabs. Mendes isn't even trying to jab the eyes, but he hits him there twice, and Aldo has to stop and recover.
