Jose Aldo was not the only one frustrated by his unanimous decision loss to Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 237.
In an interview with Combate, Nova Uniao’s head coach Andre Pederneiras also shared his opinion on what happened at that night in Rio de Janeiro. In his opinion, it all came down to his pupil not being able to pull the trigger and letting the moment to finish the fight slip through his fingers.
“Aldo had big expectations of winnning by knockout, he really anticipated that moment. Volkanovski would touch him, run, and Aldo couldn’t find his distance to put his hands on him and really look for the knockout.
