Former UFC featherweight champion and Australian mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Volkanovski has named the best featherweight in the promotion's history.
MMA Fighting quotes Volkanovski as saying:
I’m going to say Aldo because he was a champion for a very long time. Obviously, people are going to look at competition and all that but to be champion that long, things go wrong, you fight injured, there’s so many things that can go wrong and to be champion that long, it’s saying something. He was very dominant as a champion, full respect to Aldo.
Earlier, Aldo announced his return to fighting after a year and a half of retirement. His next fight will be against Jonathan Martinez on the night of May 5 at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro.
Aldo last fought in the UFC against Merab Dvalishvili in August 2022. In that fight, Jose was defeated by unanimous decision. He has 31 wins and eight losses on his record.
