DAMN! They Were Good is a celebration of the lives of some of the most influential and exciting fighters in MMA history. This episode focuses on Jose Aldo’s career.

During his 18-year career, Aldo was the undisputed featherweight champion of the world for 2,405 days — second most of all-time behind only the great Anderson Silva — and amassed an incredible nine title defenses. The former UFC and WEC featherweight champion’s career spanned multiple eras, establishing him as one of the all-time greats even if he had chosen to retire after UFC 200 as was rumored. Aldo was a fighter and fought until his retirement at the bantamweight.

Host Jed Meshew is joined by Shaheen Al-Shatti, Guilherme Cruz, Alexander K. Lee and Steven Marrocco to remember one of the most important careers in MMA history.
