Tom Brady Meets Alexander Volkanovski: 7x Super Bowl Winner Throws On-Point Pass to UFC Champion During an Event in Australia

What’s better than some lighthearted fun before facing intense competition? This applies especially to featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski who will be facing Ilia Topuria to defend his featherweight title at UFC 298 at the Honda Center in California on February 17. And 7x SB champ Tom Brady is here to take some stress off of his shoulders with a game of catch. 

Tom Brady is currently on a two-stop tour of Australia in which he met Volkanovski at his show in Melbourne. The event captured a fascinating moment between the two champions of their respective sports on Friday. It’s nothing less than a crossover intrigue that puts the defending champ in a different light than what the public usually sees on the screen. 

Tom Brady and Alexander Volkanovski share a playful catch game

A recent IG post by the NFL showcased the throwing skills of both football legend Tom Brady and UFC champ Alexander Volkanovski. The post featured the two legends having a hearty football time at a recent event, An Evening with Tom Brady at Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia. The caption read, “A game of catch between a couple of champions.”

Tom Brady isn’t going to let anyone pass by without giving a good challenge. But Volkanovski, a former rugby player, met his expectations, catching both of the NFL GOAT’s throws on stage and down the middle of the aisle like a pro. He even commented on the post saying, “How good” followed by a football emoji.
