  "account": "Jorge Masvidal remains convinced that Jose Aldo is the undisputed No. 1 featherweight of all time, despite the accolades earned by Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway. Aldo holds the UFC record for the most consecutive featherweight title defenses, with seven. He lost to both Volkanovski and Holloway, but this does not diminish Masvidal's admiration for Aldo, known as \"The King of Rio.\" Masvidal believes Aldo's reigns in the WEC and UFC were unparalleled and unmatched. He asserts that Aldo's dominance in every aspect of the sport - from wrestling defensively and offensively, to his jiu-jitsu, striking, and overall athleticism - sets him apart. Masvidal firmly believes that Aldo, in his prime, would beat both Volkanovski and Max Holloway.",
