Alexander Volkanovski certainly hasn't lost his sense of humor after his long reign as UFC featherweight champion was ended by Ilya Topria earlier this year.
“The Great” wowed fans by showing off his acting chops with his “Old Man Volk” routine ahead of his fight with Topuria at UFC 298, but after losing that bout by KO, The Australian was relatively quiet, perhaps considering his thoughts. The next step in his career.
The 35-year-old once again created a short skit and shared it on social media. In this video, the former champion works in construction while looking back on career highlights, including winning his first double championship with Islam Makhachev. And at UFC 266, he escaped an incredibly tough guillotine choke from Brian Ortega.
Volkanovski also has three wins over Max Holloway, who had one of the most sensational performances in MMA history, nearly defeating Justin Gaethje in five rounds at UFC 300 last weekend, earning a knockout win in the final seconds. I also decided to mention the fact that To become a “BMF” champion.
“The Great” was one of the countless fighters and fans who watched UFC 300, and Volkanovski also watched the final seconds of Holloway vs. Gaethje and the final moments that backfired on “The Highlights.” He made sure to share his real reaction to the right hand. canvas.
Holloway's third loss to Volkanovski seemed to close his chances of reclaiming the featherweight belt, but he has previously shown no interest in facing most of the regular top contenders in the featherweight division. Even Topuria seems to be positive about the fight against “Blessed”.
A title fight between Topuria and Holloway would put Volkanovski's hopes of an immediate rematch with “El Matador” on the back burner, but the 35-year-old is recovering from back-to-back knockout losses in which he also took the step. You may benefit from taking some time off to do so. A rematch with Makhachev at UFC 294 was decided on short notice.
