Alexander Volkanovski began training Greco-Roman wrestling at the age of 12. But then slowly shifted his attention towards rugby. He became a semi-professional rugby player, and it was only at the age of 22 that ‘The Great’ began training in mixed martial arts.

Volkanovski is the current featherweight champion in the UFC. The Australian has made a massive impact in the promotion in just 5 years, and is already the number 3 ranked pound-for-pound fighter; impressive given that he is a featherweight.

‘The Great’ is yet to lose a single fight in his UFC career, and holds two victories over the indomitable Max Holloway, which speaks volumes about his excellent fight resume. And given his champion status, there is no doubt about his net worth being high. Here is everything you need to know about Alexander Volkanovski.

Alexander Volkanovski

Volkanovski began training MMA at the age of 22. But he grasped the sport pretty quickly given his wrestling training in childhood. But the man was a staggering 97 kg when he began training. Imagine a 5ft 6 guy weighing 97kg and still looking jacked.

Volkanovski made his MMA debut when he was 23 against Gerhard Voigt at Revolution Promotions. He then went 3-0 up soon, and took a step up – he moved to the Australian Fighting Championships. That was when he faced his first and only loss in his MMA career. He was knocked out on debut against Corey Nelson, albeit at Welterweight.

There was no looking back after that for ‘The Great’. He slowly began coming down weight classes and became a featherweight. After massive success at the Australian Fighting Championship, he moved to the UFC in 2016. He faced Yusuke Kasuya on debut and won via. knockout. Volkanovski quickly rose through the ranks, earning victories over veterans Chad Mendes and Jose Aldo.

He soon found himself fighting for the title against the dangerous Max Holloway. He used the opportunity to perfection winning via. unanimous decision. He then defended his title once against Holloway in a rematch at UFC 251.

Volkanovski has an impressive net worth of $2 million, thanks to his championship status and 5 year long UFC career. UFC 251 PPV was his highest pay day, it was a rematch against Max Holloway. Volkanovski took home a whopping $390,000 for his split decision win over ‘Blessed’.

He also made almost $300,000 million for his first fight against Max Holloway at UFC 245. Volkanovski made a mere $22500 dollars in his first ever UFC fight, and it is safe to say that ‘The Great’ has come a long way since that.
