It’s hard to believe that fighting was once a way for Alex Volkanowski to stay fit during his days as a 214lb rugby league player.
UFC Featherweight Champion Volkanovski makes his third defense of his title tonight when he battles Korean Zombie at UFC 273. The Australian’s rise through the UFC is nothing short of remarkable as he remains unbeaten in the promotion.
The Australian is the number 3 ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC and has one of the most diverse skills of any champion in promotion. A fight with the zombies is Volkanowski’s chance to add another MMA legend to his list of victories, but first let’s look at how the 33-year-old got into the situation.
