Rising featherweight contender Renato Carneiro will face his toughest test to date when he meets former Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Jose Aldo in the UFC Fight Night 144 co-headliner on Feb. 2 in Fortaleza, Brazil. “Moicano” has compiled a 5-1 record since joining the UFC in 2014, a July 2017 submission loss to Brian Ortega his only misstep. A convincing victory over Aldo could thrust the 29-year-old into title contention.
Carneiro’s exploits are under the microscope in this edition of The Film Room.
Carneiro’s entire game revolves around his defense, footwork and jab, which means most of his striking is done on the counter.
