Jonathan Martinez vs. Jose Aldo is the co-main event of UFC 301, which is taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Being held in his home country, Aldo is expected to have a lot of fan support. Still, even if the event was taking place somewhere else, fans would still probably cheer for this guy.
After all, he’s a real UFC legend who used to be the featherweight champ for over three years. But this was ages ago, and he’s without a single win since 2021. Will he be able to change this on Saturday?
Before Betting on Jonathan Martinez vs. Jose Aldo UFC 301 Fight
Jonathan Martinez is eight years younger than Jose Aldo, who started fighting professionally back in 2004. Meanwhile, Martinez started his professional career a decade later.
This guy is 19-4 overall with six wins in a row, two of which earned him the Performance of the Night bonus – vs. Cub Swanson and Adrian Yanez. What’s interesting is that in both of those fights, he won by a leg kick TKO.
Martinez kicks hard and is fast in the Octagon, which makes it hard for his opponents to hit him. Jose Aldo used to be like that in the past, but at the age of 37 and with an almost two-year hiatus from MMA, he might not be as quick as before.
What he does have is plenty of experience fighting big battles. Aldo is 31-8 overall and has fought the who’s who of the featherweight and bantamweight divisions.
