Alexander Volkanovski stays true to his nick name ‘The Great’ by defeating the former feather weight champion and the #1 contender Jose Aldo. Volkanovski stuck to a smart game plan and made zero errors which led to him over shadowing Aldo on the feet. Volkanovski used his leg kicks to set the tone of the fight and then followed up with some nasty body shots in close range. He was also able to defend any chances of being taken down by Aldo and continued to land more shots than the Brazilian. Volkanovskiis now on a seventeen fight win streak and stays undefeated in the UFC with 7-0.
In his post fight interview Volkanovski said “I’m next in line 100 percent, I’m the only one who is undefeated in the top three now. I should be number one.”
