UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo defended his 145-pound title at UFC 163 on Saturday by defeating “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung , but may have suffered a broken foot early in the title bout. “When the fight started the first thing I did, I kicked him and he put his knee, so the first time I kicked him I don’t know if I broke my foot.  I don’t know, it is very swollen,” said Aldo during the post-fight press conference. “He knew that I was going be giving him low kicks, so the first combination I think he left his knee there.  I kicked straight at his knee.  I don’t know if I broke my foot.  It’s very swollen.  I can barely walk properly,” he added. The titleholder attended the post-fight press conference, but departed early to go to the hospital and have his foot evaluated. Kicks at a high volume are typical when Aldo fights, but he had to make adjustments early on to deal with the foot injury. “I had to change my strategy.  I had to totally change it,” he said. “We tried to control it in a different way.  Everyone already expects for me to be kicking low kicks, but I’m a complete fighter.  I always try to practice everything,” said the champion. “Whereever the fight goes, I always try to use all my weapons.  I don’t only have one weapon.  I have a while arsenal of weapons for whoever is out there.” Be sure to  Like MMAWeekly.com on Facebook  and  Follow @MMAWeeklycom on Twitter
