Jose Aldo’s biopic nominated for 2018 International Emmy

Jose Aldo might add another important title to his career - this time outside the Octagon.

The former UFC featherweight champion had his incredible life story told in a biopic in 2016, watched by hundreds of thousands of fans in movie theaters all over his native country to watch “Mais forte que o mundo” (“Stronger than the world”, in Portuguese).

TV Globo, one of its producers, turned the movie into a four-episode TV series in January 2017. Less than two years later, “Mais forte que o mundo” is one of the four movies and TV series nominated for an International Emmy in 2018, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced Thursday.
