Volk fought and beat way better competition and that's the reality. That doesn't take anything away from Aldo, though. He was a beast too.

Volk the GOAT in my eyes.
 
Personally, I still think its Aldo, still like double the amount of title defenses, unbeaten for decade etc. Volk is super close though.

I feel votes will be skewed due to recency bias especially after such an impressive performance

Either way, both legends and both top 3 at worst in their division no doubt
 
Volk over Aldo easy, he fought the much better competition and it's not even close, not to mention he now has his belt back at 36 years old, I love Aldo but Volk's run is better.
Volk was literally running away from his opponent tonight.

LOL.
 
In fairness, Volk is pushing 40 and Ilia has like ten extra years of youth on his side.
Yeah but an older Volk lost to a young p4p guy. Clearly Volk sucks. It's not that Ilia is great, too.

You mean the paper belt lol?

The UFC didn’t even give the title shot to the guy who beat Lopes because they didn’t want the risk of guys like Ank, Belal, and Evloev all being champs simultaneously lol.
 
What a historic division we have here. Such titans to have held that belt and all time greats. Aldo may got the most title wins, Max has looked the best, but Volk may be the most impressive after tonight.
