Top 5 Brazilian UFC Fighters

#4 Jose Aldo

Jose Aldo dominated the Featherweight division for years

Up until his infamous defeat to Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo was a fighter that seemed unstoppable at Featherweight. Aldo’s dominance in the weight division started back in WEC where he won the Featherweight title in 2009. He defended the WEC title twice before it was converted to the UFC Featherweight title.

Though the title was converted, Aldo’s brilliance remained the same. He went on to have seven successful defences over the course of five years and defeated the likes of Chad Mendes (2), Ricardo Lamas, Frankie Edgar, and Kenny Florian among others.

This impressive run was put to an end by McGregor and after that fight, Aldo never seemed the same. He did come back strongly by securing wins against Frankie Edgar and Jeremy Stephens but at the same time, he suffered two back to back defeats against Max Holloway.

He now holds a professional record of 27-4 to his name and is hands down one of the most dominant champions that came out of Brazil.
