Jose Aldo receives hero’s welcome in Brazil

Jose Aldo may not have returned to Brazil as the UFC Featherweight Champion, but the Brazilian fans still gathered in their masses to welcome him home.

The video is a great show of support to Aldo who reigned supreme at the top of the 145lbs division for nearly 10 years and counteracts claims that the Brazilian fans were un-loyal and disrespectful towards his 13 second loss to Conor McGregor.

Team Nova Unaio’s Instagram account captured the return of Jose Aldo to Brazil and hinting at a rematch;

Still the people's champion …. That wasn't a defeat… @danawhiteufc rematch right away @josealdojunioroficial @thenotoriousmma … Manifestação de carinho do #Brasil #novauniao na chegada do campeão do povo @josealdojunioroficial … Isso não foi uma derrota… @danawhiteufc revanche já!!! @canalcombateoficial @ufc_brasil @ufc @sportv @claudiagadelhaufc @renanbaraoufc @gsmnu @marlon_gladiator @andremarolanovauniao @teamalphamalemma @kimuranu @rafael.carino @renanbaraoufc @jairlourencoknu @anahissa @gloverteixeira @junior_cigano @chadmendes @uriahfaber @uriahfabermma #mma #ufc #bjj #flamengo
