Proud

Roceline Souza was happy enough to see her son’s entrance to the octagon at UFC 194.

Jose Aldo’s mother was then planning on heading home to catch the post-fight interviews and to wait on a phone-call from her son.

She did not get too far, however, as Conor McGregor delivered a 13-second knockout that ended Aldo’s 10-year unbeaten streak.

Surrounded by reporters and TV cameras, she back her son to the hilt. She declared:

“In the UFC anything can happen but, in the name of Jesus, we will have a rematch.

“Do not be sad. These things happen to warriors. Aldo is a warrior.”

A proud, proud woman.

The video, from Globo Esporte, was released last week but it is certainly worth a watch.
