A Legend in the Making

José Aldo, the former UFC featherweight champion and one of the most revered fighters in MMA history, is set to make his long-awaited return to the octagon on August 4, 2023, at UFC 280. Aldo, known as "The King of Rio," holds a legendary record of 31-7-0 and has been a dominant force in the featherweight division for over a decade. His technical striking, relentless cardio, and unyielding spirit have made him a fan favorite and a respected figure in the sport.

SLpM - Significant Strikes Landed per Minute

One of the key metrics that defines José Aldo's dominance is his astonishing striking accuracy. Aldo consistently lands a high volume of significant strikes per minute (SLpM), which is a measure of the number of effective strikes (strikes that connect with the head, body, or legs) landed per 60 seconds. Throughout his illustrious career, Aldo has averaged an impressive 5.21 SLpM, placing him among the elite strikers in UFC history.

A Lasting Impression

José Aldo's return to the octagon is eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide. His legacy as a legendary fighter is already secure, but a victory at UFC 280 would solidify his status as one of the greatest of all time. As "The King of Rio" prepares to step back into the octagon, all eyes will be on his performance and the potential for another chapter in his remarkable journey.
