Jose Aldo is still the featherweight champion of the UFC.
Aldo, fighting back home in Brazil for the first time since signing with Zuffa, defeated Chad Mendes by first-round knockout at UFC 142, defending his featherweight title and showing once again that he’s among the most lethal strikers in mixed martial arts, in any weight class.
It was a huge left knee to Mendes’ face that knocked Mendes flat on his back, and Aldo then pounced with a couple of punches on the ground before referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight at the 4 minute, 59 second mark of the first round — just one second remained in the round.
