Nicknamed ‘The Great’, Alexander Volkanovski made a triumphant comeback as the featherweight division’s undisputed champion at UFC 290. The 34-year-old re-established his status with a technical knockout victory over Yair Rodriguez on Saturday night.

Alexander Volkanovski gets greeted by 2023 NBA champion

In his most recent UFC battle, Alexander Volkanovski once again demonstrated his talent as an outstanding fighter. Volkanovski successfully defended his featherweight title for the fifth time while maintaining his perfect UFC record at 145 pounds.

Despite taking on the interim champion, Yair Rodriguez, Volkanovski demonstrated his superiority by putting an end to the fight in the third round. The former was unable to endure the onslaught due to his relentless pressure, early takedowns, and powerful attacks.

Meanwhile, the world of NBA and MMA collided as 2023 NBA champion Jamal Murray and Volkanovski walked into the UFC Arena together, engaged in conversation.

Denver Nuggets point guard Murray was a crucial piece for his team’s championship run in 2023. The 26-year-old player entered the arena with the Australian champion to root for him before the event began.

While some might find Murray’s presence at the event odd, he has previously displayed his interest in UFC, taking a crash course in MMA from Volk himself. Furthermore, Muray was also featured on UFC’s social media accounts, where he threw his support for his UFC buddy.
