    Default Jose Aldo Offically UFC Champion




    Meet Jose Aldo (18-1 MMA, 8-0 WEC), the UFC's first-ever featherweight champion.

    The 24-year-old Brazilian, who closed out his WEC run with two successful defenses of that promotion's 145-pound belt, was granted the UFC's first-ever featherweight championship when Zuffa LLC elected to merge the UFC and WEC.

    Today, in a ceremony held at The Palace of Auburn Hills in advance of this evening's UFC 123 event in suburban Detroit, UFC president Dana White awarded Also his belt.

    MMAjunkie.com and other media members entered the cage to snap photos of the ceremony.

    The soft-spoken Aldo was decked out in his finest suit as he and White posed for photos with manager Ed Soares nearby.

    Aldo debuted for the WEC in June 2008 with a second-round TKO win over Shooto legend Alexandre Franca "Pequeno" Nogueira.

    Following five consecutive knockout wins to open his WEC run – including three in the first round – Aldo was granted a title shot against then-champion Mike Brown. Aldo halted Brown with strikes in the second round.

    Aldo then defended his belt twice with wins over Manny Gamburyan and Urijah Faber and is currently considered among the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

    Aldo defends his newly issued UFC belt for the first time against top contender Josh Grispi (14-1 MMA, 4-0 WEC) at "UFC 125: Resolution," which takes place Jan. 1 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

    He looks good with the UFC belt. Pound for pound, he's my pick for the best fighter in the world.
