Jose Aldo considers himself to be the biggest idol in Brazilian MMA today. Do you agree?

Who’s the girl?
 
I would say in the mma community in brazil there are several people equally famous and imo Wanderlei and Big Nog still are bigger and will always be.

He may be on par with Silva, Shogun , Little Nog..etc. and has surpassed Sperry, Arona, Rizzo., Bustamante.etc.
 
I'd give him the edge because of his clean record but I don't know how they view him over there.

What he did against Mendes was pretty fookin cool though. Shows how much he loves them n vice versa.
 
That title belongs to none other than Chael Sonnen.
 
He's definitely in the mix.

Axe Murderer
Spider
Vitor
And Aldo

Are all in the mix for MODERN Brazilian MMA icon.

if you bring up those names, for MMA alone, Big Nog trumps them all.

But Vitor is a bigger star there than all of them iirc.
 
Probably true. He does a lot for the communities. Sure a lot of kids and aspiring martial artists look up to him. More so then the old guard.

In 2006 Vitor was still the biggest name in Brazilian MMA (to AS's ire). Today things have shifted.

Big Nog is bigger in Japan then he is in Brazil just like Rampage is bigger in Japan than he is in the USA.
 
I would say so, specially because all the other fighters are hypocrites who say they love the country but picked up their stuff and left to the US as soon as they could. Minotauro still lives in Brazil as well I think. They stayed there even when they were champs and every shertard would say that they suck and need to go train at greg jackson or whatever. I remember when Anderson lost to Weidman, his whole post fight speech was thanking the US from taking his family in and saving him from the socialist favelas of Brazil.
 
Hard to say, I've never been to Brazil. But I'd think a guy like Anderson would have more star power than Jose.
Vitor also and shogun over also I think, bigger guys with more welll known fights - casuals know Aldo’s fight w conor

that's because they are tiny.
