Jose Aldo (Nova Uniao Black Belt)

Nova Uniao Black Belt and the new WEC Featherweight Champion of the World, Jose Aldo, has not forgotten where he came from. Aldo has gone from being a struggling Jiu-Jitsu student living inside his gym, to  now an MMA champion revered around the world. Remembering his humble beginnings he now strives to give back to the very community that helped him reach his full potential.

Aldo will be auctioning off several autographed items on eBay from the night he defeated Mike Brown for the Belt, including:

ALL the proceeds will be donated to the Nova Uniao Community Program in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Non-profit program is focused on teaching Jiu-Jitsu to underprivileged youths. By getting them off the streets and into an environment where they can learn discipline and build confidence for their future. Organized by Nova Uniao Co-Founder, Andre Pederneiras, the program is currently operated in two locations: “Morro Azul” with classes taught by Black Belt, Fabiano “Babu” Freitas, and “Morro Santo Amaro” with classes taught by Sengoku fighter and Black Belt, Marlon Sandro.

You can also take part in helping by purchasing Nova Uniao merchandise. 10% of each purchase will be donated to the Nova Uniao Community Program. To see the full line of Nova Uniao products, go to http://www.novauniao.com/gear
