UFC Fighter Alexander Volkanovski (21-1)
MMA fighters are savages. They are the best athletes on the planet earth, however, they are also human and enjoy things just like you and me.
Alexander Volkanovski is the UFC featherweight champion and is one of the best fighters on the planet. As of June 28, 2020, he is ranked No. 7 on the men’s pound-for-pound rankings. On top of being one of the world’s best fighters, he is an exciting fighter that dominates and finishes his opponents.
Since joining the UFC in 2016, he is undefeated in eight fights and has looked unbeatable. After dominating the long time featherweight king José Aldo, Volkanovski earned his shot at the featherweight title.
On December 14, 2019, Volkanovski became the first featherweight to beat Max Holloway in six years and snapped his 14 fight featherweight win streak to win the featherweight championship. Volkanovski also became the first Australian-born UFC champion.
In his most recent fight, Volkanovski defended his title for the first time by defeating Max Holloway in a razor-thin close decision at UFC 251.
While it isn’t official, UFC president Dana White said that Volkanovski would be defending his belt against Brian Ortega next in 2021.
