Twitter was just as confused with Jose Aldo’s new ‘tattoo’ as we were (Photo)
By Ben Coate
Jose Aldo displayed a new “tattoo” at UFC Vegas 17.
At UFC Vegas 17, co-main event fighter Jose Aldo debuted a seemingly brand new “tattoo”, much to the confusion of fans worldwide. Adding to their confusion, Aldo did not appear to have the tattoo the day prior.
A former UFC featherweight champion, Aldo met Marlon “Chito” Vera in the bantamweight co-main event. As Aldo disrobed before entering the cage, fans were, naturally, perplexed to see Aldo rocking fresh ink. Fans were unclear if he had added a genuine tattoo in the hours prior to the fight, or if fans were merely seeing a convincing-looking temporary tattoo.
The new ink, on Aldo’s left pec, appears to be the Brazilian Navy seal.
Not sure if it's a real tattoo or not but Jose Aldo has the Brazilian Navy logo on his left chest. He trained boxing there ahead of UFC Vegas 17's fight with Marlon Vera.

That's an excellent tattoo on Aldo's chest insofar as technical application is concerned.

The tattoo on Aldo’s chest is of the Brazilian Navy. He trained in their sports center for this camp, where Brazilian Olympic boxers train at #UFCVegas17
