Jose Aldo is the nicest fighter ever... He saved Martinez from getting KO'ED

[AldoStillGoat]

He clearly had Martinez hurt bad and could have finished him but he didn't want to destroy the young lions career so he took him down instead.

What an amazing human being inside and out of the cage. The Goat, the legend, the UFC hall of famer. JOSE ALDO

 

[WhiteMousse]

Yeah that's what happened. He didn't want to knock him out

 

[frederick]

Nah, he just went for the low risk (smart) play.

 

[Koro_11]

No, that wasn’t it, still a nice performance to go out on, I’m glad he could pull it off.

 

[Gigaton Punch]

If that wasn't Aldo, people on here would be really pissed a fighter had their opponent nearly out and decided to go for a take down to ride out a decision

 

[PrideNverDies]

Felder said it was a mercy takedown

 

[Flower2dPeople]

I think I'm gonna cry. Is this Aldo's retirement MMA fight?

Damn.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

He really call it a “mercy takedown”?

Felder crazy

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He was also consoling Martinez post fight, because you could see he was deflated.

You know I got that same vibe.
I never once felt this while watching a fight until tonight.

Dude didn't react to his victory even with the crowd roar...because he saw Martinez upset and crying, Jose choose to comfort and help him stay confident.

Legend. Class act Goats with GSP and Mighty Mouse, Fedor.

 

[phillys-finest]

It’s 50/50. Definitely a mercy kill but also he could have easily gotten knocked out by someone with nothing to lose swinging for the fences

 

[LoneLynx]

mercy take down. Aldo bless.

 

[JoeRowe]

Aldo vs Cejudo would be s great matchup for Aldo to get back into top contender status. Hope they re-sign him

 

[glavinator]

Def a mercy td

 

[OleBuffalo]

Who would you root for if Aldo fought Topuria?

 

[EricSpider]

I think I'm gonna cry. Is this Aldo's retirement MMA fight?

Damn.

Its not.

 

[KantoTerror]

Aldo saved his career IMO...he has nothing left to prove....

 

[Relentless chase]

I think I'm gonna cry. Is this Aldo's retirement MMA fight?

Damn.

I’m just happy to see him win again in the Octagon. Took me back to his WEC Days watching him put a beating on Martinez. Nostalgia at its finest! I freaking love Aldo, who is in My Top 3 Favorites of All Time, along side GSP (First) and BJ!!

 

[frederick]

All you need to do is watch Kongo Barry to understand.

Maybe if Aldo KTFO of Martinez he wouldn't be crying. The moment and fighting Jose clearly got to Martinez (oh and Aldo looking sharp af)
