Movie About Jose Aldo’s Life Put On Hold Following McGregor Loss

Movie About Jose Aldo’s Life Put On Hold Following McGregor Loss

 

A few days ago, the trailer was released for a Brazilian movie on Jose Aldo’s life. The movie was set to be released on January 14, 2016 in Brazil.

According to Super Lutas, the movie entitled “Mais forte que o mundo – A história de José Aldo”, has now been postponed and a release date has not been announced.

The news comes following Jose Aldo’s unexpected 13 second KO loss to Conor McGregor. The new release of the film will be after Jose Aldo’s next fight in the UFC.

The movie will be similar to an ‘8 Mile’ type movie, except that Aldo won’t be acting in the movie. A Brazilian actor will portray the champion.

The movie will go over Aldo’s difficult childhood.

Aldo was very poor growing up, as WEC general manager Reed Harris states, “They were telling me that Wagnney Fabiano would be at the gym, and José would show up, and Wagnney would say, ‘Have you eaten today or yesterday?’ If not, they would go get him some food. That’s how poor he was.” When asked in an interview by the WEC what his motivation is, Aldo replied “My personal desires. My dream, my goal is to own my own house. This dream motivates me more and more as I get closer to fulfilling it.

When Aldo was a baby, his sisters rolled him onto a barbecue pit when his mother was not paying attention. The accident left a permanent scar on the left side of his face. Throughout his infant years, he was keen on football and wanted to become a professional. His aspirations were supported by his father. But Aldo grew tired of getting beaten up in fights on the street, thus starting to train capoeira to learn ways to defend himself better in brawls. Aldo used to train capoeira on the streets after the classes, once gaining attention of a Brazilian jiu-jitsu trainer. He invited Aldo to try one session of jiu-jitsu and after the session, Aldo decided to leave capoeira to start training jiu-jitsu. At the age of 17, Aldo moved from Manaus to Rio de Janeiro having only his clothes with him and determination to train mixed martial arts there until he achieved something in the sport.
