The UFC on FOX 30 co-main event just witnessed Jose Aldo stopping Jeremy Stephens in the first round, giving him his first win since defeating Frankie Edgar in 2016, and only the third finish of his UFC career. For Stephens, it’s an end to his three-fight winning streak.
Stephens looked to land the big shots early as Aldo looked to counter. The bombs started to get through for Stephens, but Aldo remained composed and kept throwing back. Aldo started marching forward, backing up Stephens with punches. Just as Stephens started to push back, Aldo ripped a sinister body shot that sent Stephens crumbling to the canvas.
