The Brazilian bear has been poked.
Andre Pederneiras has shot back at insinuations that Jose Aldo was not in peak shape due to the UFC’s stringent, recently introduced, drug-testing laws.
‘Dede’, who is Aldo’s head trainer at the Nova Unao gym, reacted rapidly to the latest Joe Rogan podcast, during which his co-host Brendan Schaub raised questions about the defeated featherweight champion.
Schaub commented, “[Aldo has] never failed a test, but who knows.
“You’re batshit crazy if you don’t think Jose Aldo’s body looked different. You’re batshit crazy if you think he’s gonna fight the same.
“Also, his camp, I think, is 1-7, 0-8 since this drug testing came out. So you’re talking about a different fighter, man. For me, that’s a huge X-factor.”
Pederneiras was quick to collect images from Aldo’s last four fights to prove his man was not “deflated” before his bout against Conor McGregor.

The tweet, translated, reads: ‘To the clown that thinks Aldo was on something and isn’t anymore, draw your own conclusions.’
A forceful response from Pederneiras but questions may continue to be asked if his fighters don’t start collecting more W’s soon.
