At UFC 194 this past weekend, Jose Aldo lost the UFC featherweight championship after being KO’d in 13 seconds by Conor McGregor. Aldo’s nearly 10 year unbeaten streak and nearly 5 year reign as a UFC champion may have come to an end, but he is still loved by the Brazilian fans.

Check out the footage of his homecoming, above!
