In his first non-title fight in more than nine years, Jose Aldo was hurt, but recovered and shut down Jeremy Stephens thanks to a wicked punch to the body. Aldo (27-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC), a former longtime featherweight champion, landed a right to the body, then a left that had Stephens (28-15 MMA, 15-14 UFC) doubled over and quickly on the canvas. From there, Aldo poured it on to get the finish at the 4:19 mark of the first round. The featherweight bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC on FOX 30 show at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It aired on FOX following additional prelims on FOX and UFC Fight Pass. Aldo won the WEC’s featherweight title in November 2009
