Alexander Volkanovski likes to start his day with a bit of Aussie humor, with Brian Ortega being the butt of the joke.
The reigning UFC featherweight champion recently uploaded a photo on Instagram in which he and teammate Craig Jones were pictured mock-urinating on a giant poster of Ortega, who is scheduled to take on Volkanovski for the featherweight title at UFC 266.
“Haha BANTER!” Volkanovski posted.
That might qualify as banter down under but ‘T-City’ isn’t likely to find it amusing, with Volkanovski accusing the No. 2-ranked featherweight of being ‘easily triggered’ during their recent stint on The Ultimate Fighter 29, where both men served as rival coaches at the UFC Apex center in Las Vegas.
