The last time UFC fans saw Jose Aldo he was distraught after being knocked out 13 seconds into his long-awaited featherweight championship fight against Conor McGregor.
Footage emerged of the previously undefeated Brazilian in his dressing room and he looked inconsolable. Even the most ardent McGregor fans must have found it difficult to not feel some level of sympathy for the fighter.
However, this image of a smiling Jose Aldo with a young fan appeared this morning.
We doubt he has come to terms with his sensational loss just yet, but it’s a stark contrast to the last time we saw him.
