Jose Aldo still hasn’t talked since losing to featherweight champion Max Holloway at UFC 218, but one of his coaches has decided to open up.

Aldo’s kickboxing coach Emerson “Falcao" Vieira cornered the former 145-pound king in the main event of UFC 218 in Detroit on Saturday night, and watched his protégé finished in the third round, just six months after the third-round TKO defeat to Holloway in Rio de Janeiro.

Vieira didn’t address the rematch in his statement, but responded to critics Aldo apparently received from some Brazilian fans on social media.
