In the high-stakes world of mixed martial arts (MMA), few names resonate as profoundly as Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski.
With a combination of skill, passion, and tactical mastery, Volkanovski, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight champion and the former featherweight champion of the Australian Fighting Championship (AFC), has not only dominated his division but also left his mark on MMA history, Marca reported.
His rise from a potential contender to the top of the UFC featherweight division is evidence of his unwavering will to succeed.
With an impending title defence against Ilia Topuria, Volkanovski stands on the cusp of further solidifying his legacy.
Volkanovski's remarkable career has been shaped by his record, triumphs, and remarkable prowess, which provide insights into the qualities of a champion who rises above the ordinary.
The current UFC featherweight champion, Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski, defeated Max Holloway to win the championship title in December 2019. He has successfully defended his championship five times.
At 35 years old, he now has an amazing 26 victories in his professional MMA career— 13 via knockout, three via submission, and 10 via decision — against only three defeats, two via knockout, and one via decision.
He currently holds the no 3 spot in the UFC's pound-for-pound rankings.
This elite ranking places him just behind the legends of the sport, Islam Makhachev and Jon Jones.
