Former UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo will be
competing in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in Brazil. Aldo has signed up to compete at
the IBJJF Master International Championship in Rio de Janeiro.
“We are very
honored to have the great Jose Aldo Junior registered for the Master South
America”, - IBJJF announced on its
social media. “We can’t wait to see this
MMA legend representing the Nova União team in the light division”.
A black belt under Andre Pederneiras, Aldo hasn’t
competed under jiu-jitsu rules in more than a decade. Back in 2004, Aldo
defeated future multiple-time world champion Rubens Charles “Cobrinha” as a
brown belt en route to winning the CBJO gold, and then made his transition to
mixed martial arts.
Aldo, however, still holds the record for most
featherweight title defenses in UFC history.
