Jose Aldo lost the UFC featherweight championship Saturday night, and many people wondered by he only threw one of his traditional leg kicks, and didn't go for takedowns against Max Holloway at UFC 212.
Aldo was ahead on the scorecards after the first two rounds, especially after rocking Holloway in the opening round in Rio de Janeiro. Holloway though came back strong in the third, dropping the champion and punishing him on the ground until referee "Big" John McCarthy stopped the championship fight.
The Brazilian star wasn’t happy with the stoppage when McCarthy ended the bout, but his head coach Andre Pederneiras said afterwards that Aldo will change his mind as soon as he watches the tape.
