#UFC237 Closing Betting Odds: Jose Aldo (-145) vs. Alexander Volkanovski (+125) @ESPN+ @ufc @Jon_Anik @DominickCruz @dc_mma @MMAOddsBreaker

I have to disagree with DC. I don’t think you can ever be confident you won a round against Jose Aldo in Brazil unless you clearly dominate and that didn’t happen.

He's been fighting for a long time and had a kick-heavy attack for years. He could have suffered a chronic injury or damage to his knee or leg or just fallen in love with boxing. #ufc237 https://t.co/w5uCj44QRu

Volkanovski crashes forward with a right hand, Volkanovski isn't landing clean, but Aldo's still not throwing a lot. #UFC237

The feeling at the arena, for me, is of a main event.

Man, Volkanovski has some delayed timing on some of his strikes as he closes distance. You expect them to land at a certain time and they score just a beat later. Tricky tricky stuff.

Unofficial: after two rounds, Volkanovski has thrown 141 total strike attempts; Aldo has attempted 62. #UFC237

Volkanovski has been more active and well ahead on strikes. If it goes to a dec, it'll be very interesting to see what the Brazilian judges do. #ufc237 pic.twitter.com/EhOjnYWBHY

Dam Volkanovski on point

— Nick Newell (@NotoriousNewell) May 12, 2019

Just simply not enough output from Jose in R3. He's gonna lose this decision unless something crazy happens in the final minute.

Man… #cruz should quit his commentating position and become a full time coach For everyone on the UFC roster. Everybody would be undefeated

Thought Volkanovski won, but the measured approach can cost you in someone’s hometown

Aldo looking more like Cage Wall-do this round. *sees myself out* #UFC237
