Jose Aldo’s reign atop the UFC’s featherweight division appears to be over, as the Brazilian was finished in his home country Saturday night at UFC 212 by Max Holloway.
Holloway became the undisputed featherweight champion with a third round TKO victory in the main event. The win was the 11th straight for “Blessed,” who has not lost since a meeting with UFC lightweight champion – and former 145-pound titleholder – Conor McGregor.
Claudia Gadelha earned a co-main event win over Karolina Kowalkiewicz, while former UFC champion Vitor Belfort topped Nate Marquardt.
