Jorge Masvidal Names "GOAT of GOATs" at Featherweight and It Isn't Jose Aldo or Alexander Volkanovski

Volkanovski overcame a shoulder injury to defend his featherweight title and earned Fight of the Night honors at UFC 325, marking his eighth UFC featherweight win.

  • At UFC 325, Alexander Volkanovski defeated Diego Lopes to retain the featherweight title and earned a Fight of the Night bonus.
  • Four weeks ago Volkanovski's camp nearly withdrew him due to a busted shoulder, but the featherweight champion continued preparing and competed strongly at UFC 325.
  • Cormier pointed to Volkanovski's record, noting he has eight UFC featherweight title wins, including four over Holloway and Aldo, and called him the featherweight GOAT.
  • Volkanovski said he wants to fight Evloev or Murphy, who face off at UFC London on Mar. 21, and could defend his featherweight title against the winner.
  • Seeking the toughest fights, Alexander Volkanovski earned praise from Daniel Cormier for his competitive mindset and solidifying his legacy in the featherweight division at 145 pounds.
