Who really is the greatest UFC featherweight of all time? Alexander Volkanovski, the former featherweight champ, has his answer. In a candid interview with Main Event TV, he hailed Jose Aldo, former featherweight king as the sport's finest. Aldo's record? Impressive.
With 31 wins, including 17 knockouts, he dominated the division for nearly six years. But it's not just about numbers.

I mean that's a, I can appreciate what Aldo's doing, I mean I really, you know that's for other people to decide. But you know for me if you're going to ask me I'm going to say Aldo because he was a champion for a very long time."
He continued, "Obviously, people are going to look at competition and all that but to be champion that long, like things go wrong, you fight injured, you know what I mean, there's so many things that go wrong and to be champion that long, it's saying something and man he was very dominant as a champion as well so full respect to Aldo."
