Volkanovski Outfights Aldo

1. It wasn't an action-packed affair, but Alexander Volkanovski did what he had to do to win. He outworked the legendary Jose Aldo over three rounds and swept the decision on all three of the judges' scorecards. Volkanovski beat Aldo to the punch on the feet, and just when it seemed the Brazilian might be trying to find a rhythm, the former would smother him against the Octagon fence.
2. He used that strategy throughout and Aldo never tried to change the identity of the bout. Stylistically, this wasn't a good matchup for Aldo. Volkanovski is a problem for anyone in the lightweight division, and that includes Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
