Jose Aldo took on Pedro Munhoz in the co-main event at UFC 265. The former featherweight champion has found a new lease of life at bantamweight ever since moving down. It did not look like the best decision at first, as he lost his first two fights against the likes of Marlon Moraes and Petr Yan. However, Aldo, who bounced back impressively with a win over Marlon Vera, followed it up with a win over Pedro Munhoz.

The former champion is only 35-years old and still has a lot of time left in the sport. He reckons that he is just getting started and will be stronger and faster the next time he steps into the UFC octagon. This might spell trouble for the rest of the division at 135-pounds.

Jose Aldo is getting better with time

Aldo started off the fight well and won the first round, according to most fans and pundits alike. However, there was concern that he might not be able to keep up the pace over the course of the fight, given how he started. But, Aldo maintained the same pace throughout and claimed a comfortable unanimous decision win over Munhoz. 

Over the course of the fight, Aldo landed an impressive 114 strikes at an accuracy of 51%. He also landed the same number of significant strikes with a similar accuracy rate. Munhoz threw just 75 strikes.
