Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovksi logged a dominating efficiency in his UFC 325 title battle rematch with Diego Lopes on Saturday. With the win, „The Nice“ tied former two-time featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo for probably the most title battle wins in UFC featherweight division historical past.
When arguing who’s the best featherweight of all time, it all the time comes all the way down to Volkanovski or Aldo. Max Holloway will get mentions however Volkanovski holds three wins over the Hawaiian. Former two-division champion and UFC commentator Daniel Cormier believes Volkanovski has surpassed Aldo in featherweight greatness. Strengthening that assertion is Volkanovski holding a one-sided choice win over „Junior.“
„I am telling you, he (Volkanovski) is the best featherweight of all time,“ Cormier mentioned on his YouTube channel. „I do know we love José Aldo. I do know we love Max Holloway, however he simply gained his eighth UFC featherweight title battle. 4 of these victories are towards Holloway and Aldo, the 2 different guys thought-about the best featherweights of all time.“
„He is one of the best on this planet, man. He is nearly as good as they arrive. The man is large, and I actually do not see him slowing down anytime quickly. He is too dedicated,“ continued Cormier.
Volkanovski first gained the 145-pound championship at UFC 245 in December 2019 by defeating Holloway by way of unanimous choice. He held the championship till UFC 298 in February 2024. He is solely misplaced to at least one featherweight, Ilia Topuria, in his decade-long UFC profession.
