Jose Aldo har fortfarande inte brutit tystnaden efter sin förlust mot Max Holloway under UFC 218. En som dock valt att tala ut är Jose Aldos kickboxningscoach, Emerson ”Falcao” Vieira, som fanns i Aldos hörna natten till söndag. Vieira uttalade sig inte specifikt om returmatchen men svarade på kritik som tydligen kommit från Aldos brasilianska fans.
Many talk, few know. This is the truth, Brazilians are used to idolizing crooks and crucifying heroes. It’s almost cultural. Who should be supporting us is pointing fingers, criticizing and judging without having any knowledge to talk about the topic. We’re used to fighting rivals and receive critics from the ones who were supposed be on our side. Yesterday, our champion Jose Aldo did his part, fought bravely against a really tough opponent, who was superior in the fight and won, like [Aldo] did for many years and still has what it takes to do. Sports are like this, nothing and no one will erase your story in life and in fighting. Your friends and teammates are proud of everything you’ve already done and will still do. Nothing changed. We lost a battle, but war continues.
Jose Aldo har nu förlorat tre av sina fyra senaste matcher och för första gången i sin karriär har han förlorat två matcher i rad.
