Something was missing though, which caused a lot of people to ask, &#8216;What if?&#8217; Absent were the infamous and thundering leg kicks from the previous champ. It is one of Aldo&#8217;s most dangerous weapons, but he wasn&#8217;t able to implement them coming into the fight with Holloway due to a leg injury. After Max Holloway spoke up about it recently, Jose Aldo breaks his silence on the matter and vows he&#8217;s in perfect condition.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span>&#8220;I don\u2019t think there was any cowardice. Every time I\u2019m in there that\u2019s the best Aldo possible. [Max] Holloway was a great fighter that night and was able to win. He deserved it. There\u2019s no excuse. \u2018Dede&#8217; [Pederneiras] talked about [my leg injury] because it happened in training, but if I\u2019m in there, that\u2019s the best Aldo available. There\u2019s no excuse. He won because he deserved to win.\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019m in perfect condition. There are always small injuries, but nothing that takes any weapon away. I\u2019m kicking, punching, I\u2019m dong everything now. There are no serious injuries. You can expect the best kickboxing, the best muay thai.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It is what it is <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LmtqCmkWec\">pic.twitter.com\/LmtqCmkWec<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Max Holloway (@BlessedMMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BlessedMMA\/status\/929552754493743104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 12, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I will walk forward the entire time.
