Five years ago, José Aldo was already warming up against Anderson

On July 9 of 2005, current WEC featherweight champion José Aldo was trying for his fifth win in the ring. His opponent wasn’t quite Anderson Silva, but Anderson Silvério.

And “Junior” showed signs of being the well-rounded fighter he is, in Jiu-Jitsu and standing. Lucky were the spectators at Meca 12, who had an early glimpse of the fast-rising star.
