After the fight, Aldo was quizzed about the same. He said, “The truth, I didn’t know if I needed permission because it’s the Navy Seals. I put it there in the hotel before I came here, and I warmed up for three hours without a shirt.”

“Nobody told me anything. I don’t think it’s a problem because it doesn’t have any sponsor information. If I caused any problems, I apologize.” The tattoo was a way of Aldo honoring the Brazilian Navy Seals during his fight.

Now as Aldo prepares to take on Munhoz, will we see him add another skull to his tattoo?
