The featherweight king of mixed martial arts has retained his crown, and done it easily.
World Extreme Cagefighting featherweight champion Jose Aldo landed a huge uppercut and a few more punches on the ground to beat Manny Gamburyan by technical knockout in the second round of their main-event bout at WEC 51.
“In the first round I was just studying to see what I could do, and then in the second round I put all the work that we’ve done in the gym into the cage, and I was able to knock him out,” the Brazilian Aldo said in the cage afterward, through his translator. “If it’s up to me my reign will last forever.”
