Former BMF champion and one of the best-known names in the welterweight division (up to 77,1 kg), Jorge Masvidal revealed who he considers the greatest fighter in the history of the featherweight division (up to 65,8 kg). The American was asked about the possibility of Alexander Volkanovski surpassing the legacy of one of the category's greats.
During his appearance on UFC on Paramount, on the 'Deep Waters' segment on YouTube, this Monday (24), the 'Bad Boy' did not hesitate to answer the question. Masvidal made his position clear in the debate about the biggest names in the division and pointed out who, in his view, occupies the top spot in the history of the featherweight division.

"For me, it's José Aldo . (How many fights does Volka need to win?) I think nobody can beat José," said Jorge Masvidal.
Aldo made his mark in the featherweight division and became champion during the WEC era, before taking the UFC title in that category. The Brazilian remained among the world's top athletes for years and was involved in historic rivalries.

The Brazilian has a record of 32 wins and 10 losses, with 16 of those wins by knockout. A former WEC and UFC champion, Aldo defended his featherweight title seven times in the UFC. Among his career highlights are victories over Chad Mendes and Frankie Edgar.
