Hold onto your hats, folks, because the UFC featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski, is proving he's not just a force in the octagon – he's got some serious vocal chops!
This two-time champion, widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters in featherweight history, is showing us that his talents extend far beyond the ring. You might know him for his dominant fighting style, but did you know he also has a cooking show on YouTube that boasts over 113,000 subscribers? Talk about a multi-talented individual!
And after showcasing his singing abilities before his last fight with Diego Lopes, Volkanovski recently had another opportunity to share his musical talent. He joined forces with the pop star Jelly Roll, and together, they brought the house down in Sydney. The performance was a hit, giving fans yet another glimpse into Volkanovski's hidden talents.
But here's where it gets interesting... Volkanovski's performance took place at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney – the very location of his first defeat to Islam Makhachev in February of 2023. Talk about a comeback! He lost a close decision that night, but during the concert, he had a much more triumphant moment in front of his home fans. The Grammy-nominated singer brought him on stage with his newly re-won world title, which he then handed to the singer.
What truly surprised the audience was when Volkanovski launched into his own rendition of the hit song 'Need a Favor,' singing with impressive ease alongside the professional singer. Fans were blown away, with many suggesting he might have a second career in music. One top comment perfectly captured the sentiment: "Is there something Volk can’t do?" It's a valid question, considering his ability to excel both in the ring and on stage.
