Jean Silva didn't miss the opportunity to poke fun at Alexander Volkanovski after UFC London , held this Saturday (21). In addition to giving his opinion on the result of the fight between Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy , the 'Nerd' praised José Aldo 's career while sending a message to the current Ultimate featherweight champion (up to 65,7 kg).

In a post on his Instagram stories, 'Nerd' showed confidence by stating that he will dethrone the Australian. During his analysis of the division's landscape after the main fight, the Brazilian positioned himself next in line for a title shot. For Jean, the result of the fight between Evloev and Murphy was not enough to define a new challenger for the belt, opening the way for his entry into the competition.

"Well, guys, that's it. The only chance Volkanovski had to surpass José Aldo , because Aldo is the greatest of all time, was for one of them to knock out Evloev or Lerone Murphy . Neither of them did that, nor did they finish the fight. So, there's nowhere else for Volkanovski to run."

"He's going to have to hand over the belt to us. I'm taking it to Brazil. Aldo remains the greatest of all time, with a gigantic legacy, and the belt, after ten years, is coming home," said Jean Silva.
