Since entering the UFC in 2017 Alexander Volkanovski has shown himself to be one of the best in the game. In 2019 he claimed the UFC featherweight title with a unanimous decision win over Max Holloway. He then defeated Holloway, by split decision, in an immediate rematch to retain the title.
Most recently, at UFC 266 in 2021, Volkanovski pulled off his second successful title defence—this time against Brian Ortega.
The success inside the Octagon, where he is undefeated in ten contests, has seen Volkanovski gain massive support both home and abroad. This week, it was revealed, that this support has resulted in the Aussie getting a popular pub named after him in his home town of Illawara, New South Wales.
