He called it when nobody was listening. So don't ignore Aussie alexvolkanovski, who could be a UFC champ on Sunday 😤😤 📝 By Gadi_Notelovitz
That statement came after the brawler of out of Shellharbour, New South Wales downed Chad Mendes at UFC 232.
Before that prediction, an unranked Volkanovski told me at the start of 2018, “Early next year, I could definitely be right up there for a [title] shot.”Both claims would have been interpreted as delusions of grandeur to the casual UFC fan. Sure, Volkanovski was winning, but eventually he’d come unstuck, right?Volkanovski was his own biggest fan – out of necessity at times – as he attempted to legitimise his dream, both inside and out of the Octagon.
He was supposed to be cut down to size against Mendes. The Australian finished the perennial contender in the second round. Then, Jose Aldo was supposed to put him away in front of a Brazilian crowd that rose and fell with every strike the legend landed. Instead, Volkanovski nullified Aldo to the point where questions were raised about the Brazilian’s career longevity.
Now, against Max Holloway at UFC 245, in a world title fight, Volkanovski must prove, once again, why betting against him would be downright irresponsible.in Auckland, a little over a week out from the biggest test of his career.That “wild” Volkanovski is coming out to play because he simply isn’t afraid of Holloway’s power., he’s speaking with the same matter-of-fact confidence he did back in 2018, and the start of this year.
