#2. How Jose Aldo came to be known as 'Scarface'
Jose Aldo has a distinct scar on his face that has earned him the nickname, 'Scarface'. What is the story behind the scar? Was it something Aldo received as a kid during one of his football rivalries or was it something inflicted upon him by a drug mafia that dominated the favelas? The answer is somewhat surprising.

Jose Aldo received the scar when he was a child fit to do nothing but lie in his crib. In a rather bizarre accident, Aldo’s eldest sibling Joseline picked up his crib and threw it at her sister during a party. Aldo, who was in the crib at the time, ended up landing face first on a lit barbecue, scarring his face. 'Scarface' said in an interview in 2009:
"They were playing around and threw me in there. It was hot. I was a little baby. They were little kids. There was another time when my little sister broke my head. I have all kinds of stories."
#1. Jose Aldo's insurmountable MMA record
Jose Aldo is not considered one of the greatest featherweights in the history of MMA without reason. He was once the most feared and most dominant featherweight kingpin in the sport. Aldo won 18 straight fights between 2006 and 2015. It was only in December 2015 that 'Junior' lost his title to Conor McGregor at UFC 194.
Before losing to the Irishman, however, Aldo was undefeated for more than ten years across five different MMA promotions, including high-profile promotions such as the WEC and the UFC. The list of fighters who were reduced to dust by facing Aldo were names like Urijah Faber, Kenny Florian, Chad Mendes and Frankie Edgar.
While Jose Aldo is one of four men to have conquered the undisputed UFC featherweight title, he is the only one to win the championship twice. His 1,848-day championship reign is the longest in the division's history, nearly twice as long as that of his nearest competitor, Max Holloway.
