Jose Aldo has been one of the best featherweight fighters on the planet for a decade, but mixed martial arts is not his only passion in life.

The Brazilian fighter, who is once again the UFC's featherweight champion, also has a huge love for the sport of futevôlei. 

The game is hugely popular in Brazil, and is a sort of mix between football and beach volleyball. As this video shows, Aldo has plenty of ability to play it and looks like he'd be pretty useful in a game of five-a-side.

Teaming up with one of the big names in the sport, Isael, Aldo and his partner took on Leandro Sapucahy and Leo Tubarao in the semi-final of a tournament for celebrities and stars of the game.

Aldo and Isael played well and the two advanced to the final after their win, where they were beaten 18-8 by the team of former professional player Felipe Jorge Loureiro and futevôlei star Rodrigo.
