Cormier reacts to Aldo's decision to end his career

“He always had amazing takedown defense abilities. He could really make any opponent pay with those hard kicks. At the end of his career, Aldo developed boxing skills that few could handle. I take my hat off to the king of Rio. He was one of those guys that I always tried to take pictures with, even at the end of his career, when I was already a commentator."

Recall that in his last fight Aldo lost by unanimous decision to Merab Dvalishvili. This confrontation took place in August of this year.
