Who Is the UFC’s Featherweight GOAT? Volkanovski Has an Idea

Jose Aldo punches Alexander Volkanovski during the UFC 237 event in Rio de Janeiro.

Jose Aldo returns to the UFC Octagon on Saturday, May 4 — a homecoming of sorts for UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Ahead of the big event, Alexander Volkanovski, a former opponent of Aldo’s, said the Brazilian fighter is the greatest featherweight that the UFC has ever seen.

It raises the question as to whom the GOAT at 145 pounds really is, seeing as the division has been witness to incredible performances from extraordinary competitors.

Even Volkanovski has built a stacked resume in a weight class that Conor McGregor swashbuckled his way through, together with Max Holloway — the self-proclaimed greatest boxer in the UFC.
