UFC champ Jose Aldo blows by Brazilian star Neymar in soccer match

Published Dec. 27, 2014 1:53 p.m. ET

When he's not brutalizing the best fighters in the world as the UFC featherweight champion, Jose Aldo likes to play a little bit of soccer in his spare time.

As a matter of fact Aldo has gotten pretty good with his fancy footwork, which is helped no doubt by the amount of leg-crushing kicks he applies in virtually all of his title defenses.

Aldo got to show off some of his moves at a recent exhibition soccer match in his home country of Brazil where local celebrities and athletes participated in the game.

In one of his brightest moments on the field, Aldo even managed to pull a fancy trick on Brazilian soccer star Neymar, which will surely make the UFC champion's all-time highlight reel when he puts together his favorite moments from his career.

Sure it was an exhibition match and Aldo would have about as much chance of pulling that move off in a real game as Neymar would head kicking the champion and taking his belt, but it's still a slick move to see happen to one of the best soccer players on the planet.
