Before defending his title against Kenny Florian this weekend at UFC 136, Jose Aldo is making some last-minute adjustments to his game plan.
TATAME.com caught up with the 25-year-old at his camp, Nova Uniao, in Brazil.
In the final stages of his training camp, Aldo demonstrated his skills during a sparring session, and he looked to be in great shape.
This will be Florian’s second bout at featherweight, having previously defeated Diego Nunes at UFC 131.
This will be Aldo’s second title defense inside the Octagon.

As far as promising bouts go, this lightweight showdown pitting former WEC champion Anthony Pettis against the hard-hitting Jeremy Stephens has “Fight of the Night” written all over it.
The two men will meet this Saturday, as they will be featured on the Spike broadcast for the UFC 136 preliminary special.
The event takes place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, and will be headlined by dual title matches, pitting champions Frankie Edgar and Jose Aldo defending their titles against Gray Maynard and Kenny Florian, respectively.
While most of the focus leading into this Saturday rests heavy on the shoulders of the championship bouts, Pettis and Stephens are poised to steal some of that attention.
In the now defunct WEC promotion, Pettis shined in performances against UFC talent Alex Karalexis, Danny Castillo and Ben Henderson. Both Pettis and “Bendo” battled it out over a classic five-round affair in the promotion’s final event at WEC 53 last December.
There, Pettis solidified his legacy as an always exciting talent, by wall walking the cage and delivering a devastating kick off the cage, which knocked Henderson to the mat, sealing the deal on the decision victory which earned “Showtime” the respect amongst his peers and the 155-pound title all in one swoop.
Stephens, meanwhile, has been making plenty of noise of his own inside the Octagon. Debuting in the organization in May of 2007, “Lil’ Heathen” has not failed to disappoint.
He owns three “Knockout of the Night” awards, which came courtesy of devastating finishes over the likes of Rafael dos Anjos, Justin Buchholz and former contender Marcus Davis.
Both men have a penchant for crowd pleasing performances and have not failed to deliver since.
Pettis is in need an impressive victory here especially, as he was stifled for three-rounds of a classic example of “lay and pray” when contender Clay Guida hold the dangerous Pettis to the mat for three-rounds, taking home a very safe decision win.
If Pettis wishes to reach title contention sooner rather than later, he will need to show his best against Stephens, who always seems to rise to the occasion?
So, will Pettis and Stephens steal the show? If any one bout can out due two epic title bouts, it will be these two lightweight notables.

In the mixed martial arts community, there’s perhaps no more prominent figure than the controversial Chael Sonnen.
The former UFC middleweight title challenger returns to action against Brian Stann, who by stature alone has humbled the usually outspoken Sonnen.
The two contenders meet this weekend for UFC 136, which takes place at the Toyota Center in Houston Texas.
The pay-per-view event features a dual title clash, pitting rivals Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar against one another in order to determine the rightful ruler of 155 pounds, while champion Jose Aldo defends his belt against perennial contender Kenny Florian.
Both Sonnen and Stann possess the skills that can rival most men in their division, but where do they stand when opposite one another?

The anticipation is growing for this weekend’s UFC event, which goes down in Houston, TX, at the Toyota Center.
It will feature the third matchup between UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard. Edgar is 0-1-1 against his challenger, but their last fight ended in a draw and has left unfinished business between the two.
That won’t be the only title fight on the card.
In the co-main event, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo puts his title on the line against former lightweight title challenger Kenny Florian. Aldo made his UFC debut in March where he defeated Mark Hominick. Florian is 0-2 in title attempts and will look to capture his first belt against one of MMA‘s pound-for-pound best.
The main card, which will be broadcast at 9 p.m. ET on pay-per-view, will also feature Chael Sonnen vs. Brian Stann, Joe Lauzon vs. Melvin Guillard and Leonard Garcia vs. Nam Phan.
These are my predictions for fight, knockout and submission of the night.
Fight of the Night: Anthony Pettis vs. Jeremy Stephens
Less than a year ago, former WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis (13-2) was in line for a shot at the UFC lightweight championship. If not for his loss to Clay Guida, he might have actually been in the main event on this card.
He takes on Jeremy Stephens (20-6), who was last seen beating up Danny Downes and knocking out Marcus Davis in his two 2011 bouts.
Both of these fighters bring intriguing challenges to the Octagon, and they are always in entertaining fights where they could be one punch or kick away from a victory.
Of Stephens’ seven UFC victories, four have been awarded fight bonuses.
Pettis was involved in one of 2010’s best fights versus Ben Henderson.
This fight will take place on the Spike TV portion of UFC 136, which will be broadcast at 8 p.m. on Spike TV.
Knockout of the Night: Jose Aldo
In his toughest title fight yet, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo (19-1) will defend his title for the second time against Kenny Florian (15-5), who has fought everywhere from middleweight to lightweight and now featherweight.
Aldo has 12 knockout victories to his credit, including those over Manvel Gamburyan, Mike Brown, Jonathan Brookins and Cub Swanson.
After going to a decision in his last fight, Aldo will probably want to make up for it by going for the finish early in this fight.
Florian was able to make it past Diego Nunes in his last bout, but he was dropped during the bout and may have been stopped had it not been for the bell. Nunes is nowhere near Aldo when it comes to striking, but he is unorthodox with kicks, something Aldo is a master at utilizing.
It might not come from one shot, but Aldo should be able to break Florian down and get the knockout sometime during the five round distance.
Submission of the Night: Zhang Tiequan
Zhang Tiequan is one of the best prospects to come out of China, and he brings a 15-1 record with 12 submission victories to the Octagon to take on Darren Elkins on the preliminary card this weekend.
Tiequan holds submission victories over Pablo Garza and Jason Reinhardt and has finished all of his opponents. He is a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and trains under Black Tiger Team and China Top Team.
Elkins is 12-2 with only one of his losses coming by submission, which was against Charles Oliveira. That fight came before his controversial victory in his featherweight debut against Michihiro Omigawa at UFC 131.
