Jo-se Aldo?

Rogan ALWAYS calls him Jo-say Aldo.

It's irritating.

 

Aldo is brazilian, his name is not pronounced in the traditional spanish "Jose (H o-zay)"...

 

it is pronounced somewhat like this "Jose (Zho-zeh)"...i speak portuguese...the phonetics may not be 100% reflective, but it was the closest I could think of...not Joe-zay either...

but ive heard them say it the other way too....weird

 

Sometimes people go by what they're accustomed to. I used to work with a Russian girl named Masha and my boss always called her Marsha (the American version).

 

But then I think about Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and wonder why it's not ever pronounced **-drigo....when I sometimes hear **-gerio for his brother.

lol well at least stay consistent with the name at least as to not confuse people. I've been watching him as "h o-say" and not "joe-say."

H o-zay is what most non-portuguese speakers say...those that know the difference between spanish and portuguese (but don't speak portuguese) will say Joe-say...and the rest will say Zho-zeh...i'm having a hard time putting it down phonetically...but the first 'z' is not the 'z' in zebra...the 'z' is more like the "ge" in beige...or like the 's' in casual...

So true, and the e is more of an "eh" sound, it's really hard to spell out the phonetics of portuguese pronunciation, it's like when I tried telling my friend about how to pronounce the "ao" with a squiggly line above the "a".

well then i don't understand how they announcers can go so long saying his name wrong then finally switch its frustrating to me. makes me think if theres anybody else whos name they butcher that i don't know about

 

Rafael Dos Anjos is a popular name they butcher without knowing it. They get the Rafael right, but the Anjos they pronounce it in the way you pronounce A?os in spanish, even though it's pronounced Anjos, meaning Angels, so his name really says Rafael of the Angels.

I think portuguese is the only language with that specific sound, well, I'm not sure "sound" is the right word for it. Maybe if I were to say portuguese is the only language that has "?o" pronounced in that specific way, yeah... But even then I wouldn't put money on it, I never trust myself when it comes to these things.

It will be a good fight but if Jose Aldo didn't wanted to right Kenny Florian I doubt it he will want BJ Penn, if anything him and Frankie Edgar is a greater fight.

 

 

 

 

Brock needed to lose that way when

 

He gets his title back people won't

 

Say he didn't deserve it.

 

 

Dream match

 

Anderson Silva vs Fedor Emelianenko
