Jose Aldo blames MMA media for mistranslating comments on IV ban, vows to follow USADA rules

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo is perhaps the most outspoken champion in the entire promotion, lambasting his bosses over everything from "shitty" fighter pay to the "fucking stupid" USADA ban on intravenous (IV) hydration for weigh cuts.

Or so we thought.

Turns out Aldo isn't ruffling any feathers, he simply gets mistranslated every single time by those dopey MMA "journalists" who rely on Google translate to decipher his rants. Either that, or nobody can tell when he's joking, which seems to be quite often these days.

"Sometimes I say something to the journalists in Brazil and the moment the guys translate that, my interview is almost totally wrong," Aldo told MMA Junkie.
