the defeat of José Aldo for Conor McGregor at UFC 194 had bad consequences not only on the Brazilian fighter's sporting career. The film “Stronger than the World”, inspired by Aldo's trajectory, had its release postponed indefinitely due to the knockout suffered by the athlete last Saturday (12), in Las Vegas (USA).

According to journalist Flávio Ricco's blog, Aldo's biopic would originally be released on January 14, but the setback suffered by the fighter could mean low box office success. Therefore, the distributors of Paris Filmes and Downtown Filmes changed the plans and conditioned the release to Aldo's next fight in the UFC, which does not yet have a scheduled date.

PUBLICITY:

Actor José Loreto played Aldo in the film, which also featured appearances by Cléo Pires (as the fighter's wife), Milhem Cortaz (as Aldo's trainer, Dedé Pederneiras) and Rafinha Bastos (Marcos Loro, gym colleague).
