Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway gave props to Jose Aldo after his dominant win over Rob Font at UFC Vegas 44.
Holloway and Aldo went to battle on two different occasions while the two of them were at the top of the UFC’s featherweight division. After winning the interim title over Anthony Pettis, Holloway knocked out Aldo at UFC 212 before defeating him once again in an immediate rematch.
Holloway had this to say after Aldo’s impressive victory at UFC Vegas 44.
“The King of Rio!”, Holloway tweeted. “A legend in every way. Congrats champ.”

Holloway and Aldo are both close to returning to the top of their respective divisions in the UFC. Holloway is widely expected to face Volkanovski for a trilogy, while Aldo could get the next bantamweight title shot against the Aljamain Sterling/Petr Yan winner.
Aldo lost his first shot at bantamweight gold to Yan at UFC 251, after losing a controversial split decision to Marlon Moraes. He could also possibly face TJ Dillashaw in a No. 1 contender bout.
Holloway got back in the win column against top contenders Calvin Kattar and Yair Rodriguez in his past two fights. He lost his featherweight title to Volkanovski on back-to-back occasions, but both fights were controversial and many felt he came away with the victory.
Holloway and Aldo are still two of the biggest stars in the sport today and have plenty of mutual respect for one another after their wars inside of the octagon. While we’ll more than likely never see the two of them fight each other again, it’s great to see two legends of the sport praise one another for their accomplishments.
What were your thoughts on Jose Aldo’s performance at UFC Vegas 44?
Former UFC featherweight continues to prove himself a problem at bantamweight — lodging his third straight unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 49-46) win, this time halting the streak of Massachusetts striker, Rob Font to close out UFC Vegas 44.

Former UFC featherweight continues to prove himself a problem at bantamweight — lodging his third straight unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 49-46) win, this time halting the streak of Massachusetts striker, Rob Font to close out UFC Vegas 44.
Some real limited output from Aldo in the opening round, however, he’s likely stolen the frame from the more active Font with a knockdown with just 10-seconds or so remaining in the frame.
Landing a crisp jab-straight combination, Aldo then followed up with a right uppercut, with the Brazilian unable to land anything else significant to force a stoppage.
Another impressive round for Manaus favorite, Aldo who appears to have a significant power advantage over Font, who visibly retreats whenever the former champion lands that jab-straight combination. Font happy to stay in the fire and take one in order to land his own, however. Andre Pederneiras calling for more kicks from Aldo ahead of the third.
Third round in the books and Font appears to have caused some significant swelling on the right eye of Aldo courtesy of a ground strike, and may have taken the third round. The Brazilian landed a couple notable leg kicks toward the close from the frame — one of which knocked Font from his feet.
An early fourth round knockdown for Aldo who has now himself closed the left eye of Font via his striking acumen. The knockdown is likely enough to see Aldo take the penultimate round, however, Font is still active from his back with some well-placed elbows. Clear urgency in the New England Cartel for Font to chase a fifth round finish.
Despite a cagey and laboured opening minute or two to the final round, Aldo once more stunned and dropped Font with his boxing, riding out the remainder of the frame from the back and then mount — scoring his third consecutive unanimous decision.
Below, catch the highlights from Jose Aldo’s third consecutive unanimous decision success.
