In recent weeks, UFC featherweight Alex Volkanovski has watched his teammates Israel Adesanya, Dan Hooker, and Shane Young, clinch wins in the UFC cage. This weekend, it’s his turn to perform and he’s hoping to push Auckland’s City Kickboxing Studio’s recent UFC record to 4-0. Looking to stop him, at UFC Fight Night: Dos Santos vs. Ivanov, is Team Alpha Male’s Darren Elkins, the tenth0ranked 145er in the promotion.
Volkanovski (17-1) is riding high on a four-fight win streak of his own in the UFC (14 fight win streak overall), which he most recently improved upon with a TKO victory over Jeremy Kennedy at UFC 221 in Perth.
