Over the weekend we had a chance to watch one of the most exciting bouts of the year – featherweight title fight between Max Holloway and Jose Aldo.
And while the fight was fierce and Holloway got a deserved victory he didn’t feel insecure about acknowledging the importance of Jose Aldo for the division and ultimately the sport.
Holloway writes:
Losing is part of this fight game. Saturday night takes nothing away from his legacy. This is a guy who would show up to his gym sometimes without eating in the last day because he was so damn poor. This is a guy who built the 45 division and became king. This is a guy who found motivation to keep earning what he already had. He defended his throne. For a decade. For honor. For his team. For his countrymen. This is a guy who didn’t start at pole position in this world and look at what he achieved. Brazil needs to celebrate that man. Acai with powered milk and cashews for everyone. He’s a GOAT, and his story will always be an inspiration to me and people of Hawaii. Obrigado, Ze @josealdojunioroficial Obrigado.
In a similar fashion Aldo is digesting events of weekend past:
I can only thank the Big Daddy Andre Pederneiras, the best team in , all my coaches who have done super job well done and left me ready and all the fans who are always with me, here is my love and my thanks. Stay up without words to say of all the care I received and I get to this day, every endearments’m told. Thank you.
The rest f*ck ‘ cause I’ll come back, ‘ cause fell to getting up !! Then that’s it!! Let’s go back!!
