Title: UFC Featherweight Champion

Reason for nomination: Who is 5’7” , 145 pounds, and when you hear Run This Town you know an ass whooping is coming ? José Aldo that’s who. Since he stepped into the WEC and started knocking fools out I fell in love with his fighting style. Once he became the Featherweight Champion he continued to kill dudes until he got to Mark Hominick. For some reason I thought this fight showed a chink in Jose’s armor which I find hilarious since Hominick looked like this after the fight .

His next fight he beat up Kenny Florian for 5 rounds but once again people thought this was an issue because he didn’t kill Florian. Going into the Chad Mendes fight I saw multiple sites that picked Mendes but once the fight started it became clear that Mendes couldn’t get Jose down. Then it happened , Jose hit Chad flush in the face with a nasty knee after which he had one of the coolest post fight celebrations I’ve ever seen when he jumped in the crowd and celebrated. With that brutal KO and awesome post fight celebration he is my fighter of the month.
