¿Se retira la leyenda Jose Aldo? Lo mejor para su carrera - Is legend Jose Aldo retiring? The best for his career [ESP-ENG]
Jose Aldo llegaba ante una oportunidad de oro, ganando frente a Merab Dvalishvili, seguramente obtendría el cupo de pelear por el titulo, su mayor deseo para luego retirarse y dejar atrás su enorme carrera de MMA. Para muchos el goat de peso pluma, hombre que fue campeón y pudo defender el titulo durante 9 ocasiones de manera consecutivas. A sus 35 años de edad, poder retar nuevamente por el titulo al campeón, seria mas que un premio para una leyenda, también seria una gran alegría para todos los fanáticos de la UFC y parece que ese sueño se ha derrumbado.
Jose Aldo was facing a golden opportunity, winning against Merab Dvalishvili, he would surely get the chance to fight for the title, his greatest wish and then retire and leave behind his huge MMA career. For many the featherweight goat, a man who was champion and was able to defend the title for 9 consecutive times. At 35 years of age, being able to challenge the champion for the title again would be more than a reward for a legend, it would also be a great joy for all UFC fans and it seems that dream has come crashing down.
Merab Dvalishvili es un contrincante muy fuerte, José Aldo no era el favorito para ganar y termino perdiendo la batalla en el evento de UFC278. Cuenta Merab que Aldo le comento, que esta había sido su último combate y que pretende retirarse de las artes marciales mixtas. Veo con mucho sentido esa decisión, Aldo estaba luchando por llegar nuevamente a la cima, lamentablemente no ha podido conseguirlo y ya quedo muy lejos de poder optar por una lucha titular. ¿Todavia puede competir Jose Aldo? Realmente creo que si, pero en mi opinión, no es lo mejor para su carrera.
Merab Dvalishvili is a very strong opponent, Jose Aldo was not the favorite to win and ended up losing the fight at the UFC278 event. Merab says that Aldo told him that this was his last fight and that he intends to retire from mixed martial arts. I see a lot of sense in that decision, Aldo was fighting to get back to the top, unfortunately he has not been able to do it and he is far from being eligible for a title fight. Can Jose Aldo still compete? I really think so, but in my opinion, it's not the best thing for his career.
El titulo quedo lejos - The title was far away
Mucha ilusión generaba Jose Aldo, verlo en el puesto número 3 del ranking, sin dudas era todo un gran hito, en estos momentos no había ningún ex campeón de su edad en lo mas alto del top, simplemente la leyenda de José Aldo que aun se mantenía y a pesar que sufrió grandes derrotas, pudo revertir esa situación y comenzó a ganar en un gran resurgir de su flamante carrera. La categoría de peso gallo, puede ser considerada la mas competitiva o por lo menos la segunda mejor de la compañía, por lo cual todo lo que estaba haciendo Jose Aldo, era brillante y no es nada sencillo llegar hasta lo mas alto de la división.
Todo el top 5 estaba emparejado con una batalla, por eso las opciones para Jose Aldo, estaban siendo muy grandes, pues su nombre pesa mucho y estaba en el top 3 de la división. Ganando ante Merab, directamente iba enfrentar al campeón y todos queríamos ver eso. No se pudo conseguir la victoria, retrocedió hasta el puesto número 6 del ranking y ya todo queda muy lejos. Tendría que tener una racha de al menos, 3 victorias consecutivas y peleando contra el top 5 de la categoría. Realmente muy complicado que pueda vencerlos, esta división es muy dura y hay mucho nivel por el cual Jose Aldo actualmente no pudiera vencer.
La motivación que traía el brasileño, tuvo que haber caído luego de esta derrota, pensando bien la situación, no vale la pena arriesgar tanto, buscar mas derrota en su historial, no seria lo mejor y mancharía un poco su estatus de leyenda. Hay que aplaudir lo que pudo conseguir, nadie se esperaba a un Jose Aldo, siendo top 3 en la categoría de peso gallo, muchos lo tomaban por viejo y que ya no tenia opciones de gloria, pero se equivocaron y pudo demostrar porque es uno de los mejores peleadores que a tenido la UFC en la historia.
A lot of illusion generated Jose Aldo, to see him in the number 3 position of the ranking, without a doubt it was a great milestone, at this time there was no former champion of his age in the top of the top, simply the legend of Jose Aldo that still remained and although he suffered great defeats, he was able to reverse that situation and began to win in a great resurgence of his brand new career. The bantamweight category, can be considered the most competitive or at least the second best in the company, so everything Jose Aldo was doing, was brilliant and it is not easy to get to the top of the division.
All the top 5 was paired with a fight, so the options for Jose Aldo, were being very big, because his name weighs a lot and was in the top 3 of the division. Winning against Merab, he was directly going to face the champion and we all wanted to see that. He couldn't get the win, he dropped back to #6 in the rankings and it's all a long way off. He would have to have a streak of at least 3 consecutive victories and fighting against the top 5 of the category. It is really very difficult for him to beat them, this division is very tough and there is a lot of level that Jose Aldo could not beat.
The motivation that brought the Brazilian, had to have fallen after this defeat, thinking well the situation, it is not worth risking so much, looking for more defeat in his record, would not be the best and would tarnish a little his legendary status. We must applaud what he was able to achieve, nobody expected a Jose Aldo, being top 3 in the bantamweight category, many took him for old and that he no longer had options for glory, but they were wrong and he was able to show why he is one of the best fighters that the UFC has ever had in history.

No puede ser medidor - Cannot be a meter
Muchos luchadores de nombres importantes, cuando llega la etapa de su declive, comienzan hacer medidores para los prospectos, peleadores que se encargan de medir a los jóvenes que vienen subiendo y muchas veces terminan recibiendo gran daño. Las MMA no perdonan a nadie, el tiempo pasa factura, llegar a una edad avanzada es mucho riesgo, mas si te toca enfrentar a un joven, peleador con gran hambre de gloria y que desea tener en su récord una victoria contra alguien importante. Personalmente me duele ver leyendas así, por eso considero que el retiro debe ser temprano y en este caso para Jose Aldo es buen momento.
Luego de una enorme racha de victorias, ser un campeón dominante y defender tantas veces el titulo, no seria nada justo para Jose Aldo, tener que enfrentarse contra peleadores que resultan una amenaza, llenar su récord de muchas derrotas innecesarias y convertirse en un medidor para la UFC. En mi cabeza no hace sentido, por lo cual si esta fue la última pelea de Jose Aldo, me alegro de la decisión, aunque sea triste no volverlo a ver, para mi seria lo mas correcto y mas lógico para cuidar toda su trayectoria.
Son 35 años de edad, podrán comentar muchos fanáticos, aun tiene tiempo para seguir, los campeones se forjan después de los 30 años, pero Jose Aldo es un hombre distinto, pudo ser campeón muy joven y enfrento a lo mejor durante muchos años seguidos. La alta competencia que enfrento el brasileño, no se compara con muchos otros peleadores, por eso la carrera de Aldo se acorta, no ha sido un camino sencillo, siempre estuvo en la elite y las MMA son muy duras. No esta acabado, contra Merab lucio bien, puede seguir ganando ante peleadores regulares, pero ya eso no suma nada a su carrera, lo importante era llegar al titulo y eso no podrá conseguirlo nuevamente a estas alturas, por lo cual el retiro lo veo perfecto.
Many big name fighters, when they reach the stage of their decline, begin to make meters for prospects, fighters who are responsible for measuring the young people who come up and often end up receiving great damage. MMA does not forgive anyone, time takes its toll, reaching an advanced age is a lot of risk, especially if you have to face a young fighter with great hunger for glory and who wants to have in his record a victory against someone important. Personally it hurts me to see legends like this, that's why I consider that retirement should be early and in this case for Jose Aldo is a good time.
After a huge winning streak, being a dominant champion and defending the title so many times, it wouldn't be fair for Jose Aldo to have to face fighters that are a threat, fill his record with many unnecessary defeats and become a measuring stick for the UFC. In my head it doesn't make sense, so if this was Jose Aldo's last fight, I'm glad for the decision, even if it's sad not to see him again, for me it would be the right and logical thing to do to take care of his whole career.
He is 35 years old, many fans may comment, he still has time to continue, champions are forged after the age of 30, but Jose Aldo is a different man, he could be champion very young and he faced the best for many years in a row. The high competition that the Brazilian faced, is not compared to many other fighters, that's why Aldo's career is shortened, it has not been an easy road, he was always in the elite and MMA is very hard. He is not finished, against Merab he looked good, he can keep winning against regular fighters, but that does not add anything to his career, the important thing was to get to the title and that can not get it again at this point, so I see retirement as perfect.

Top 5 histórico - Historical Top 5
Jose Aldo entra en mi lista de top 5 de la historia, la carrera que ha tenido el brasileño, sin duda alguna es increíble, pocos han podido dominar de la forma que el pudo hacerlo, constantemente finalizaba a sus adversarios y daba la sensación que era invencible. Jamás se tildo de aburrido, nadie se quejo viendo una performance de Jose Aldo, porque siempre fue entretenido, golpeaba mucho con sus piernas, lastimaba a sus oponentes y no tenia miedo de ir hacia el frente para acabar con el combate.
Lo mas impresionante ha sido su renacer, perdió contra Conor Mcgregor en su mejor nivel, cuando Jose Aldo era lo máximo, nadie daba a Mcgregor ganando ese combate y perdió ante su publico en Brasil en cuestiones de nada. Caer totalmente KO en menos de 1 minuto, siendo el gran favorito, psicológicamente debe ser terrible, pocos luchadores se hubieran recuperado de aquel momento, sin embargo Jose Aldo en su próximo combate gana ante Frankie Edgar, un ex campeón que estaba en gran nivel y Jose Aldo logro vencerlo.
La capacidad de reponerse es brillante, también se recuerda las 2 derrotas contra Max Holloway, cada uno por TKO y también perdió de la misma forma contra Petr Yan. Cualquiera se fuera retirado antes, no es nada fácil, estar en el top del mundo y luego ser derrotado con mucho castigo. Pero Jose Aldo siguió en la compañía, gano varias peleas consecutivas y volvió al top 3 de la división, eso nos habla de lo majestuoso que es Aldo y el gran nivel que tiene como peleador. Me gusta mencionar las caídas, porque es difícil levantarse de eso y Jose Aldo logro hacerlo muchas veces y luciendo muy bien.
A los 24 años Jose Aldo era campeón de la compañía, totalmente increíble, un deporte donde la experiencia es primordial y el pudo ser dominante siendo joven. Ya no tiene mas nada que demostrar, por los momentos será el mejor luchador que ha visto la categoría de peso pluma y para mi uno de los mejores 5 luchadores que ha tenido la UFC en la historia. Todavía no se confirma su retiro, falta escuchar sus declaraciones, pero no creo que Merab haya dicho mentiras con lo que dijo, tomando en cuenta eso, me parece la decisión correcta, dejar el octágono temprano es lo mas saludable para su cuerpo y para mantener su legado.
Jose Aldo enters my list of top 5 in history, the career that the Brazilian has had is undoubtedly incredible, few have been able to dominate the way he could do it, he constantly finished his opponents and gave the feeling that he was invincible. He was never labeled as boring, nobody complained watching a performance of Jose Aldo, because he was always entertaining, he hit a lot with his legs, hurt his opponents and was not afraid to go to the front to finish the fight.
The most impressive thing has been his rebirth, he lost against Conor Mcgregor in his best level, when Jose Aldo was the best, nobody gave Mcgregor winning that fight and he lost in front of his public in Brazil in a matter of nothing. To fall totally KO in less than 1 minute, being the big favorite, psychologically must be terrible, few fighters would have recovered from that moment, however Jose Aldo in his next fight wins against Frankie Edgar, a former champion who was at a great level and Jose Aldo managed to beat him.
The ability to bounce back is brilliant, also remember the 2 defeats against Max Holloway, each by TKO and also lost in the same way against Petr Yan. Anyone would have retired before, it is not easy, to be in the top of the world and then be defeated with a lot of punishment. But Jose Aldo stayed in the company, won several consecutive fights and returned to the top 3 of the division, that tells us how majestic Aldo is and the great level he has as a fighter. I like to mention the falls, because it's hard to get up from that and Jose Aldo managed to do it many times and looking great.
At 24 years old Jose Aldo was champion of the company, totally unbelievable, a sport where experience is paramount and he was able to be dominant at a young age. He has nothing more to prove, for the moment he will be the best fighter the featherweight category has ever seen and for me one of the best 5 fighters the UFC has ever had. His retirement has not been confirmed yet, we have yet to hear his statements, but I don't think Merab has told lies with what he said, taking into account that, it seems to me the right decision, leaving the octagon early is the healthiest thing for his body and to maintain his legacy.
