Jose Aldo’s big win over Jeremy Stephens at UFC on FOX 30 seems to have reignited a fire in the Brazilian, as the fan favorite earned his first TKO win in over four years, dropping ‘Lil Heathen’ with a beautifully placed body shot and finishing him with follow-up punches in the second round.
Aldo seemed rather defeated after suffering back-to-back losses to Max Holloway, talking frequently about hanging up the gloves and ending his UFC contract as soon as possible.
But, after his emotional victory over Stephens, the 31-year-old wants to end his career on a high note, preferably with the featherweight title back in his possession and at least one ‘big’ win at lightweight.
