Coach Joe Lopez said Volkanovski started training in MMA at the age of 22[14] and Greco-Roman wrestling to keep fit during the rugby league off season, where he weighed 97 kg (214 lb).[22] However, he soon realized he had a passion for the sport and wanted to go as far as he could.[23] Volkanovski quickly became a good counter striker with a powerful overhand right as well as a fantastic offensive wrestler.[24] He initially competed in multiple amateur fights in the middleweight division as he adjusted from his rugby weight before turning professional and moving down to welterweight, lightweight and ultimately the featherweight division.[14]
"There are no excuses in fighting. You can be playing a team sport and have a good game, and you can lose. In fighting, it’s all on me. If I go out there and lose, then it’s my fault. I like that. So I know if I fight well, I’m going to win. I definitely love the fact that it’s all on you, and you do what you have to do to win. Each fight is like a grand final in the rugby league."[25]
Starting as an amateur at middleweight and going 4–0 before turning professional, Volkanovski has fought in various MMA organizations in the Oceania region in Asia from 2012 to July 2016 before signing with the UFC. He won a Pacific Xtreme Combat (PXC) title and two Australian Fighting Championship (AFC) Featherweight titles.[31][32] Volkanovski amassed a record of 13–1 with 10 straight wins prior to joining the UFC.[33]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Volkanovski made his promotional debut on 26 November 2016, and increased his win streak to 11 with a second-round TKO against Yusuke Kasuya at UFC Fight Night 101.[34][35] He announced at the post-fight press conference that he would drop from lightweight to featherweight for his next fight.[36][37]
Move down to Featherweight
Volkanovski was expected to face Michel Quiñones on 19 February 2017 at UFC Fight Night 105. However, the bout was scrapped after Quiñones suffered an injury and no replacement could be found.[38]
Volkanovski returned to Featherweight and faced Mizuto Hirota on 11 June 2017 at UFC Fight Night 110.[39] He won the fight via unanimous decision after almost finishing Hirota following a knockdown.[40]
Volkanovski was expected to face Jeremy Kennedy at UFC Fight Night: Werdum vs. Tybura on 19 November 2017, in Sydney, Australia.[41] However, Kennedy pulled out of the fight on 5 October, citing a back injury[42] and was replaced by Humberto Bandenay.[43] In November 2017, it was announced that Bandenay would delay his UFC debut at this event due to undisclosed reasons, and was replaced by Drex Zamboanga.[44][45] In turn, Zamboanga pulled out of the fight due to visa issues and was replaced by promotional newcomer Shane Young.[45] The bout proceeded at a catchweight of 150 pounds.[46] Volkanovski won the fight via unanimous decision.[47]
The bout with Kennedy was rescheduled and took place on 11 February 2018 at UFC 221.[48] He won the fight via technical knockout.[49]
Volkanovski faced Chad Mendes on 29 December 2018 at UFC 232.[52] He won the fight via technical knockout in round two after surviving two knockdowns himself.[53] This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award.[54]
Volkanovski faced former featherweight champion José Aldo at UFC 237 on 11 May 2019.[55] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[56]
Volkanovski made his first title defense in a rematch against Max Holloway on 11 July 2020 at UFC 251.[60] He won the fight via split decision.[61] This outcome was controversial amongst media outlets, with 18 out of 27 media scores giving it to Holloway,[62][63][64] mixed martial arts personalities such as UFC president Dana White,[65] former referee and creator of the rules system John McCarthy,[66][67][68] and multiple mixed martial artists.[69]
Volkanovski vs. Ortega
Volkanovski was scheduled to make his second title defense against Brian Ortega on 27 March 2021 at UFC 260.[70] However, the fight was canceled due to COVID-19 protocols.[71]
Volkanovski later tweeted that he tested positive for COVID-19.[72]
On 2 April 2021, it was announced that Brian Ortega and Volkanovski would be the coaches for The Ultimate Fighter 29 at ESPN+ and the show featured bantamweight and middleweight contestants.[73]
Volkanovski was scheduled to face Max Holloway for a third time on 5 March 2022, at UFC 272.[77] However, a day after the announcement, Holloway was forced to pull from the event due to injury.[78] Holloway was replaced by Chan Sung Jung and the title bout was moved to UFC 273 on 9 April 2022.[79] After knocking Jung down multiple times, Volkanovski won the fight via TKO in the fourth round.[80] The win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[81] The fight also earned him second place in the Crypto.com "Fan Bonus of the Night" award.[81]
Volkanovski vs. Holloway 3
The trilogy bout against Holloway was rescheduled at UFC 276 on 2 July 2022.[82] Volkanovski won the bout via unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the fight 50–45.[83] This win earned him the Crypto.comFan Bonus of the Night second-place award, which paid the bitcoin equivalent of US$20,000.[84]
Volkanovski returned to featherweight and faced interim featherweight champion Yair Rodríguez in a title unification bout for the UFC Featherweight Championship on 8 July 2023 at UFC 290.[88] He won the fight via TKO in round three.[89]
Following the short notice rematch with Makhachev, the bout with Ilia Topuria was initially expected to continue forward and take place on its original date of 20 January 2024 at UFC 297.[93] However, it was later pushed back one month to headline UFC 298 on 17 February 2024 instead.[94] Volkanovski lost the championship by knockout in the second round.[95]
Professional boxing career
Volkanovski has a single boxing bout, which was a Super welterweight bout he won by unanimous decision in four rounds against Dillon Bargero.[96][97]
Personal life
Volkanovski is married.[98] He appeared as a coach in Malaysia Invasion, an amateur MMA reality show.[99] Because of his paternal Macedonian and maternal Greek heritage, he uses the nickname "The Great" in reference to Alexander the Great, claiming that he had "a Macedonian father and a Greek mother", similar to himself.[100]
