After the first round, in which Aldo had quite a bit of success on the feet, Holloway went over to the booth and told the commentary team that 'the man is tired.' Before that, he was actually complimenting the longest-serving UFC featherweight champion, as he explained on Monday's MMA Hour.
"We were getting ready for two Aldos. We were getting ready for an Aldo that was going to come out and sprint with me really, really fast or the same Aldo that was going to happen the first fight. He actually came out way more slower than I thought he would. He was taking his time. "In the first round, I was jabbing him. When we exchanged jabs I was like, 'Oh, nice jab!' I even told him, 'Oh you're taking your time! Nice one bro!' He told me, 'Thanks, bro!' "It was fun! We were talking in there. It was kind of fun. I was having fun. It was a good time, man. I got to share the Octagon with a legend twice. I was living in the moment."You've got to love 'Blessed'. Only one defence under his belt and he's already proving to be an amazing champion.
