Jose Aldo With A Chance To Reclaim Gold
4 years agoJose Aldo (28-6) has a chance to claim UFC gold in his second weight class. Coming off of two losses in a row, Aldo will face a tough opponent in Petr Yan. Sixteen of his 28 victories have come by knockout, though as of late Aldo has been on a 3-5 skid. The 33-year-old has a decent 3.47 significant strikes per minute landed and a stellar 92% takedown defense. Eight-four percent of Aldo's significant strikes have occurred while standing, which is probably where most of this bout will take place. Listed on DraftKings at $6,900, Aldo only averages 66.8 points per bout. This may be the Brazilian's last chance at UFC gold. Expect to see all that Aldo has, but will it be enough to defeat the younger, stronger Yan? It remains to be seen.
