Jose Aldo genomgick mycket i sitt liv innan han blev fjäderviktsmästaren i UFC. Under onsdagen släpptes filmen ’Mais forte que o mundo’ (Stronger than the world), som handlar om om Aldos förflutna och karriär som MMA-fighter. Jose Loreto spelar i huvudrollen som stjärnan.
Enligt Aldo var filmen så rörande att han inte kunde hålla tillbaka tårarna.
I have to thank (director) Afonso Poyart and the whole crew for telling my story in theaters and making me very emotional. It’s amazing,” Aldo told the media. ”I think that, being a fight fan or not, this movie will move you because it’s an emotional story. The first time I watched it I was so excited about my story being told in a movie that I didn’t actually pay attention [laughs]. The second time I watched it, I really paid attention to the story. To look back at the past… It was hard for me, but I overcame everything I went through.
It’s impossible not to cry. A MMA fan or not, it’s a beautiful movie. It’s my movie so I thought it was wonderful [laughs]. My relationship with my father, a hero and a villain, is really beautiful in the movie.
Det här berättade Jackson Antunes som spelade Aldos pappa i filmen:
A father probably is the toughest character to do in a movie. Having a son is the biggest responsibility you can have in your life, even if you get lost in the way. Everything is about love. I looked inside of my heart for love to build this human being. I meet Jose today and he looks into my eyes and stops for a second, remembers of his father, and gets emotional. That’s a wonderful feedback.
Alcohol is part of their culture. Unfortunately, domestic violence is also part of their culture. But there’s a beautiful side of this story. Aldo’s father loved him, wished the best for him. There’s a moment in the movie where he realizes he won’t have control over his son and over his own actions, and he says ‘get out of here so you don’t become someone like me. Fight for what you love and what makes you happy’. It’s the human conflict.
Aldo kommer härnäst att möta Frankie Edgar om interimbältet i fjädervikt. Vinnaren kommer även att få möta mästaren Conor McGregor, vilket då kan leda till en andra film.
There’s a huge story to be told in the future. Just like in the Rocky movie, they had a lot of movies. If that happens to me, brother… I think that getting my belt back, this story would be awesome. It would be a great story with me beating up (McGregor) and getting the belt back. My focus is on the belt now. As soon as I get the belt back, defeating Frankie Edgar, I will think what’s next. We do have unfinished business.
