Speaking on his YouTube channel, Alexander Volkanovski paid tribute to the featherweight “G.O.A.T.” Jose Aldo, stating:
‘The Great’ continued by adding:
As great as Alexander Volkanovski has been, he believes that he still hasn’t caught Jose Aldo as the greatest featherweight of all time. He recently shared similar sentiments on Twitter when congratulating Aldo on his retirement.

Can Alexander Volkanovski catch Jose Aldo as the featherweight G.O.A.T.?
As shocking as it may be, Alexander Volkanovski is only three title defenses away from tying Jose Aldo’s UFC featherweight record of seven. Volkanovski shared that he is looking to compete for the lightweight championship, so it remains to be seen if he will place his fifth title defense on hold.
Volkanovski currently doesn’t have a fight scheduled, but there are a lot of options as he has only fought three fighters inside the featherweight top 10.
Volkanovski’s praise for Aldo should come as no surprise. Prior to UFC 266, nearly two-and-a-half years after their fight, he was still giving the retired legend credit.
