Video: Jose Aldo stars alongside a rhinoceros in surreal energy drink ad

This is just bizarre

So now, Conor McGregor needs to take out every man, woman, child and rhinoceros in Brazil to get his hands on that belt

An ad for energy drink featuring Jose Aldo has been doing the rounds on social media, and it really is quite a sight to behold. Despite being the celebrity in the clip, Aldo really isn’t the star of this show. The Brazilian’s thunder is stolen in the video by a massive CGI rhino (well we assume it is CGI), which dominates the screen time.

We’re not sure what comparison the video is trying to draw between the MMA fighter and an odd-toed-ungulate. Perhaps, they’re trying to make it out like he’s such an animal inside the cage or that TNT (not to be confused with what turned Vitor Belfort into a beast inside the cage) is what makes him such a great champion.

Either way, it certainly makes for an intriguing watch.

This isn’t the first time the brand have gotten a fighter to endorse their product. After scouring through their YouTube channel, we discovered that former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos is also on the TNT buzz.
