Jose Aldo Jr. much like other Brazilian fighter is living the dream fighting in America. Born into poverty in the Amazon, Aldo is thrilled to be making a living as a full-time fighter. During WEC 44 workout day, when the subject turned to his family, Aldo got emotional (5:38 mark).
"For everything that happen to me back in the days. For now it's a dream come true. I can't describe the possibilty to help my parents, my sisters and the community. It's a dream come true."
Just 23-years-old, Aldo has been through it all. That includes being tossed into a barbecue pit as a toddler. No, it wasn't some sort of torture. Aldo was in a playpen near a barbecue as a child when his older sisters, also under 10, decided it would be fun to flip their little bro into the fire. Aldo suffered minor injuries but it did leave a sizable scar on the left side of his face.
Aldo had a difficult childhood. He began working along with his father on construction sites at six years old. The rough upbringing has led him to the brink of a world title with WEC. He challenges Mike Brown for the 145 pound title tomorrow night in Las Vegas.
