In doing so, he became one of just two men to defeat Aldo in the UFC or WEC. The other, of course, is <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/fighter\/conor-mcgregor\/\">Conor McGregor<\/a>, who knocked Aldo out in just 13 seconds back in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>UFC commentator Joe Rogan, who was not on duty for UFC 212, believes Holloway&#8217;s win over Aldo \u2013 when combined with the fact that McGregor has beat both him and Aldo \u2013 makes McGregor the greatest featherweight of all time. Rogan made this claim on the latest edition of his podcast, which aired during the UFC 212 broadcast.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI gotta say Conor [McGregor]\u2019s the greatest 145-pounder of all time cause he knocked out Aldo, who was clearly the greatest,\u201d Rogan said (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/featured-posts\/joe-rogan-conor-greatest-145-pounder-time\/\" target=\"_blank\">TheMacLife.com<\/a>). \u201cBut in terms of who\u2019s got more victories of course it\u2019s Aldo. He\u2019s got the body of work. The problem is \u2014 we\u2019re not doing MMA math here, you\u2019re having two guys actually fight each other. So if you said who is the greatest of all time? \u2018Well it would have to be Aldo because he beat all these guys\u2019 \u2014 no, no no, because the two of them fought and Conor merked him. So you\u2019ve to give it to him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOtherwise there\u2019s no other metric. There\u2019s no other metric other than a knockout. That\u2019s the most important deciding [factor].\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With his impressive defeat of Aldo, Holloway extended his win-streak to a baffling eleven-straight. Highlights of this streak include defeats of stars like Cub Swanson, Charles Oliveira, Jeremy Stephens, Ricardo Lamas, Anthony Pettis, and now Aldo. At just 25, the Hawaiian star is 18-3 overall.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you consider the best featherweight of all time? Is it Jose Aldo, Conor McGregor, Max Holloway, or somebody else?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 6\/4\/2017.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night, in the main event of UFC 212, Hawaii&#8217;s Max Holloway shook up the featherweight division by defeating Jose Aldo via third-round TKO.
