Command Analysis
Jose Aldo
BrazilCurrent form
Jose Aldo is a living MMA legend, the man who rewrote the history of featherweight. The fourth and last WEC champion, he became the first UFC champion in this division in 2011 after the promotions merged. Seven UFC title defenses, two in the WEC are like a golden page in the MMA book. Sherdog named him Fighter of the Year in 2009 and the greatest featherweight of all time in 2017. After the first defeat in 2005, Aldo was undefeated for 10 years, giving out 18 wins in a row, until he ran into Conor McGregor in 2015.
In October 2024, he lost to Mario Bautista by a controversial split decision (many, including me, believed that Jose had won), but before that he confidently dismantled Jonathan Martinez by unanimous decision. The 38-year-old Brazilian has 32 wins (16 knockouts, 14 decisions, 2 submission), 9 defeats, a black belt in BJJ and experience in professional boxing. Junior is 11th in the UFC light heavyweight rankings, and he's still as dangerous as a jaguar.

Eimann Zahabi is a Canadian wolf who is quietly but confidently climbing the UFC rankings. Before joining the Dana White league, he played in local promotions, but did not take titles. In the UFC, the start was shaky, but then Zahabi delivered a series of 5 wins in a row. In November 2024, he defeated Pedro Munoz by unanimous decision, and before that he defeated Javid Basharat (unanimous decision), Kileng Aori (first-round knockout), Ricky Turcios (unanimous decision) and Draco Rodriguez (first-round knockout).
The 38-year-old fighter from Quebec has 13 wins (5 knockouts, 4 decisions, 4 submission), 2 losses and a black belt in BJJ. Eymann is 15th in the division rankings, and the fight with Aldo is like a chance for him to make history.

5.80Tip and bets
The bookmakers are betting on Aldo, and you can understand them: the featherweight legend, whose protection from takedowns is like a concrete wall, and lowkey is like a lumberjack's axe. Even at 38, he retains his speed and power, and the controversial defeat by Bautista only angered him. Aldo is an experience you can't buy, and 29 more fights than your opponent is like a library of knowledge. Zahabi is a local hero who goes on a 5—win streak. His first—round knockouts and a black belt in BJJ make him dangerous, but takedowns are not his weapon. We are waiting for the fight to turn into a kickboxing duel, where Aldo will unleash his legs, cutting Zahabi with low kicks. Eymann will try his best, but he can save himself in front of a legend, like a young fighter in front of an idol. It is worth choosing a bet that Jose will show class and take the victory by decision of the judges, as he knows how. It will be a fight where experience and technique will outweigh youth enthusiasm and home support.
Our prediction is that Aldo will win on points in 1.95
