    lots of respect for aldo not choosing to cripple faber permanently, and giving him the honor of finishing the fight even though he could have put him in a wheel chair permanently with just a few more leg kicks.
    mercy is an invaluable personality trait.

      Totally agree with this statement. Aldo has my respect because of this.
      I was amazed that the commentators didn't see the option of mercy.
      He wasn't playing it safe on purpose. His reaction in the end says it all.
      I think it's beautiful that showing him respect and love was on his mind when the fight ended.
      That's how you respect a former champion!

    It's hard to believe this guy still fighting best guys in division.
    While GSP, Anderson Silva, Khabib and many others retired Aldo is still fighting new hungry contenders.
    Not to mention he never talked trash and always retained sportmanship to his oponents.
    Jose Aldo is another breed of fighter and should never be left out of the "goat" conversation.

      I think I have him at 6 in my goat list behind Fedor, GSP, Silva, Jones, and DJ. He is easily above Stipe for me, he held his title longer in a much deeper division.

    São dois atletas que se equivalem como duas feras do esporte.

    It’s amazing to me, all these years and they still talk about the damage leg kicks do, to the punching power and ability to move. It’s like every time it happens, it’s a new thing!

    It's crazy that Jose Aldo has only made 6 million in the ufc after so many years and success... Ufc fighter pay is trash... Dana white is one of the problems

    Aldo was being kind with those soft hammers. He could have bludgeoned him. He was taking it easy with those elbows. And punches. Believe it. Good dude. Respect.

    Esse tipo de Luta é difícil de se repetir.

    Aldo had mercy on him. That's what you saw during the 5th round. Uriah was helpless with no leg. What a warrior Faber is to continue, and Aldo for having good sportsmanship.
