José Aldo doesn’t give chances to his opponents in the WEC. The fighter won his fifth consecutive fight, needing only 8 seconds to destroy Cub Swanson and get the bonus for the best knockout of the night. Aldo confesses that didn’t expect a victory that fast, but was very happy with the extra money he received.

"I really didn’t expect that the fight ended so quickly, because we trained to fight all three rounds, but, when I have a gap to fit the strikes at the beginning, I don’t let go and it happened. This extra award has come to help me much... I’m very happy, thank God", said the fighter, who already imagines a possible confrontation against the WEC champion, Mike Brown.

"It would be a great fight, I think he’d want to strike with me and then try to take me down. I’m training a lot on the ground and I’m progressing very well. I’ve already seen three of his fights and I believe that I have chances. When my time comes, you can be sure that I’ll study better his game to be able to put on a good strategy", guaranteed Ald
