Max Holloway may have Jose Aldo’s number, but he also has nothing but respect for the former featherweight king.
Aldo won his second straight bout in the UFC Fight Night 144 co-main event, stopping rising contender Renato Carneiro via technical knockout 44 seconds into the second round of their encounter. Once Aldo stunned “Moicano” with a left hook to the jaw his killer instinct took over, and he swarmed his countryman for a quick stoppage.
Since losing back-to-back title fights to Holloway in convincing fashion, the former UFC and WEC champion has authored impressive victories over Carneiro and Stephens, showing that he may still very well be the world’s No.
