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.
Naturally, the IBJJF is thrilled to have such a big name competing at their event:
We are very honored to have the great Jose Aldo Junior registered for the Master South America! We can’t wait to see this MMA legend representing the Nova União team in the light division.
Aldo will be expected to fight on Sunday, July 30.
Jose Aldo rode an 18-fight win streak before his early first-round knockout loss at the hands of Conor McGregor. He would later go on to win the Interim Featherweight Championship, but would later lose it to Max Holloway.
Aldo, however, still holds the record for most featherweight title defenses in UFC history.
Jose is a BJJ black belt under Andre Pederneiras.
