Twitter Reacts After Alexander Volkanovski Upsets Jose Aldo At UFC 237 | UFC Betting Sites

Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo returned to the Octagon last night (Sat. May 11, 2019) from the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He took on rising 145-pound star Alexander Volkanovski.

Volkanovski showed tremendous skill inside the Octagon against, arguably, the greatest featherweight of all time. After three rounds of fighting, Volkanovski seemingly out-classed the Brazilian legend for 15 minutes. When it was all said and done, he was awarded the unanimous decision victory.

Now, he calls for a shot at the featherweight championship. Check out how the mixed martial arts (MMA) community reacted to Volkanovski’s big win on Twitter here:

There can be not a shred of doubt that Alexander Volkanovski is your top featherweight contender and should be next for Max Holloway.

Imagine Whittaker vs. Adesanya for the middleweight title and Holloway vs. Volkanovski for the featherweight title in Australia. What a scene that would be.

Sensational showing from Alexander Volkanovski. He moves to 7-0 in the UFC and beats Jose Aldo in Rio of all places. Remarkable achievement. Give this man a title shot. #UFC237

Alexander Volkanovski gets the job done against Jose Aldo by unanimous decision.

Probably not the result Frankie Edgar wanted as this almost certainly makes Volkanovski the next contender in line to face champion Max Holloway #UFC237

This Australia card is starting to shape up to be incredible later this year. If these fights come through, OMG

With Jose Aldo losing tonight, I'd like to see him move up to lightweight for some new challenges in that weight class. A lot of interesting possibilities in terms of opponents #UFC237
