Por Dentro da Arena's Waldir Leite reports that
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight champion Jose Aldo Jr suffered a minor motocycle accident this past Saturday.
The fighter was riding on Copacabana towards his home in Barrio do Flamengo when a Citroen suddenly turned the corner and hit his motorcycle. The motorist stopped to help him and was surprised when the passersby began to ask for autographs.
“Is he famous?” the woman asked the policemen who attended the incident.
Team mates Luis Ramos and Alexandre Baixinho, who live close to the place where "Scarface" was involved in the car crash, showed up immediately and took Aldo to the gym for a meet with head coach Andre Pederneiras.
After checking that everything was OK with Jose, "Dede" recommended his athlete only to take taxis until October 13th, the date in which he will face off Frankie Edgar.
That same Saturday, Jose Aldo had taken part in the debut of Ronald de Carvalho for the Carioca Soccer Beach Championship. The Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu specialist had an impeccable performance, albeit after a somewhat shaky start.
His team was beat by 2-0 in the first half of the game but in the second, Aldo - wearing the pivotal number 9 shirt - lead the counterattack and scored the deciding goal to win the game by 3-2 proving that he is good both on the Octagon and in the sand.

Driver Collides With JDS
By Eduardo Cruz

Earlier today Fighters Only reported that UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo was hit by a car while he was riding on a motorcycle in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro this past Saturday. Well that same day, another Brazilian champion was involved in a car crash in Salvador, Bahia.
Junior dos Santos had his car damaged by another motorist and complained about the person's ‘bad energy’ for the unfortunately incident. “
“The traffic in Salvador is frightening. They just hit my car and didn't even stop, continued on their way as if it were a normal situation. Please, let's be more conscious and respect other people. We gain nothing with violence and disrespect in traffic. Give passage and let things go peacefully,” Dos Santos reflected afterwards.
Answering a follower on Twitter, Cigano wrote that he did not get the car’s registration. “I didn't take the number man, but I will tell you that I want to be distant from a person like this. He/She has a bad energy.”
In the cage - where he is a lot safer - Dos Santos is currently riding a ten-fight win streak. He holds a 15-1 record and is coming off an overwhelming victory over Frank Mir at UFC 146 in May. His upcoming challenge is set for December 29, when he will grant Cain Velasquez a chance to get back the belt he lost in November last year.

I was bumped from behind by another car this weekend also. On a scale of 1 to 10, the hit was about a 1, so I didn't even bother getting out of my car, arguing, etc. Looks like Cigano and I both avoided potential street fight situations recently.

Someone needs to tell Aldo that it's probably not the best idea to ride a motorcycle before the biggest fight of your career.
Seriously. Time to use some common sense guys.

Anyone signed to a UFC contract shouldn't be riding a motorbike.
They certainly shouldn't be doing it while they are scheduled for a title fight.
And they certainly shouldn't be doing it in a 3rd world s---hole with terrible driving conditions.

I assumed Frank Mir would have been an effective warning to ufc champs

He's a grown man and can do whatever he pleases.

He's a grown man with responsibilities. He also has a very limited window in which to earn as much money as possible, so purely from a selfish point of view he should be looking into the whole 'self preservation' thing.
Plus with the whole issue around the Jones fight being cancelled... it will only lead to Zuffa tightening up what people can and can't do in their down time that will risk a fighter not being available for an already scheduled fight. Think they won't do it? Look at soccer and american football for examples of sports companies doing exactly that.

Yes he's a grown man and can do whatever he pleases. Guess what? There are still consequences to those actions.
Jon Jones was a grown man doing whatever he pleases when he got arrested twice.
