<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Alexander Volkanovski: Net Worth 2024, Record and Business Ventures</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Alexander Volkanovski?</strong></h2>
An Australian professional MMA fighter, 35-year-old Alexander Volkanovski currently fights in the Featherweight division under the greatest promotion of the sport, UFC. He was born in Wollongong, New South Wales, on 29 September 1988.

Despite training in combat sports and even winning two national titles for Greco-Roman wrestling at the early age of 12, by 14 years he opted to try his hands in the Rugby league as a front rower. This won him numerous accolades but as fate would have it, as he turned 23, his interests shifted towards MMA. A fan of UFC events, he debuted for the promotion in 2016.

The noted UFC fighter, Alexander Volkanovski, is currently awaiting his fight against Illia Topuria, at UFC 298, on 17 February 2024.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Alexander Volkanovski's early life</strong></h2>
Volkanovski has mixed ancestry. His mother, Mary Volkanovski, is from Greece, while his father, Tony Volkanovski, has Macedonian ancestry and was born in Yugoslavia. Volkanovski's mixed ancestry inspired him to give himself the moniker 'The Great', following Alexander The Great, who also had a Macedonian-Greek origin.

Reports say that he also has an older sibling who is a fighter as well. 'Volk' was a fervent rugby fan apart from MMA. Further, he also kicked off his athletic career with rugby. He used to play for the Warilla Gorillas as a semi-pro. In the year 2010, he was also awarded the Mick Cronin Medal as the Group 7 Rugby League's best player.
<div class="jsx-1883686743">
<div class="jsx-901529394 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-901529394 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/AlexanderVolkanovski.png" /></div>
</div>
His initial coach, Joe Lopez, revealed 'Volk' started to train in MMA and Greco-Roman Wrestling when he was 22. Although he started it as an off-season activity to keep himself fit, he soon grew a knack for the sport of MMA and chose it as his livelihood as well.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Alexander Volkanovski's wife and children</h2>
Alexander Volkanovski has been married to his wife Emma Volkanovski since the 12th of October 2012. Although not much is known about Emma's maiden life, Volkanovski in his social media posts made it known that they were high school sweethearts and had dated for 7 years before tying the knot.

Since their marriage, they have become a family of 4, welcoming two daughters. His eldest, Ariana was born in 2015, and his youngest Arlie in 2017.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What isÂ </b><b>Alexander Volkanovski's</b><b> net worth in 2024?</b></h2>
Owing to the huge crowds, 'The Great' draws in his fights, the UFC also provides him with remarkable sums of money for his bouts. As per reports, the Australian currently boasts a net worth of $3.5M.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-3245111776 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-3245111776 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1235507372.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
Volkanovski also receives his pay per fight, similar to every other UFC fighter. The majority of UFC supporters are also aware that it varies from one fight to another. 'The Great' earned his biggest fight purse to date for his UFC 290 bout against the noted,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/yair-rodriguez/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Yair Rodriguez</strong></a>. Reports suggest that 'Volk' pocketed a massive $2,142,000 for this fight.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Alexander Volkanovski's MMA career and UFC record</h2>
Volkanovski had four fights as an amateur. At 23, he decided to make a career out of mixed martial arts and defeated Gerhard Voigt in his first professional MMA bout. 'The Great' went 3-0 before suffering his first and what would become his only MMA loss, and it came in the welterweight division. Alexander Volkanovski's weight loss, as aforementioned he was a 214-pound rugby player, was the recipe for his success.

After amassing thirteen wins in Australia, Guam, and New Zealand, Volkanovski finally made it to the United States and took over the UFC featherweight division after debuting in the lightweight division. As of 2023, he is at #2 in UFC men's pound-for-pound rankings.

Alexander Volkanovski dominated his first five opponents in the UFC before fighting returning veteran, Chad Mendes. Although he faced some early adversity against Mendes, Volkanovski turned the tables and knocked him out. He was then matched up against the first UFC featherweight champion, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jose-aldo/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jose Aldo</a>.

As 'The Great' outclassed the legend, Aldo, in his hometown, Brazil, at UFC 237, he received his first-ever title shot against the third-ever UFC featherweight championÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-holloway/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Max Holloway</a>. At UFC 245, 'The Great' conquered Holloway and resolutely won the UFC featherweight championship.
<div class="jsx-1883686743">
<div class="jsx-1670390786 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-1670390786 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200718010704/max-holloway-alexander-volkanovski.jpg" /></div>
</div>
The duo re-matched at UFC 251. As Max Holloway looked strong in the early rounds, many people thought 'Blessed' did enough to regain his UFC gold. But, the judges had other thoughts and awarded the decision to 'The Great'. With two wins over Holloway, Volkanovski inched his way toward the GOAT status in the featherweight division.

In 2021, he made his second title defense against Brian Ortega on September 25, 2021, at <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ufc-266/" target="_self" rel="noopener">UFC 266: </a>Alexander Volkanovski vs. Brian Ortega. Alexander Volkanovski's record in UFC stood at an impressive 10-0.

Alexander Volkanovski had his next fight in the main event of UFC 273 PPV against '<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/chan-sung-jung/" target="_self" rel="noopener">The Korean Zombie</a>' Chan Sung Jung at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. 'Volk' put on a display of his insane striking prowess, finishing off Jung in the fourth round of the bout.

Moving on, 'The Great' once again faced his former rival Max Holloway at UFC 276. But the result wasn't much different.

Volkanovski's only UFC loss to date came in his UFC 284 main event bout against the current UFC Lightweight champ,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/islam-makhachev/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Islam Makhachev</a>. 'Volk' decided to move up a division in order to give himself a shot at the coveted 'champ-champ' status. Despite putting up a real enthraller of a bout, the judges ruled in favor of Makhachev via a controversial unanimous decision. Next, he defended his featherweight title against Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290.

Before joining the UFC, Alexander Volkanovski also has one boxing match under his belt. The bout took place on April 17, 2015, at super welterweight inside the Hurstville Entertainment Center, Australia. 'The Great' won the four-round battle via a unanimous decision.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Joe Rogan?</b></h2>
We know Joe Rogan as a man with many talents - <em>"stand up comic, mixed martial arts fanatic, psychedelic adventurer, host of the joe rogan experience podcast."Â </em>The 56-year-old initially rose to fame as a stand-up comedian, with a comedy career spanning over two decades.Â  A staple for American television, Rogan has done it all, from hosting popular TV shows to becoming the voice of UFC, and now hosts a million-dollar podcast.

His passion for MMA sprung from practicing the sport since he was 13 years old, and by age 19, he secured the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship. Now he retains significant power in the sport's biggest promotion and has been an integral part of UFC fights, be it in the arena or through The JRE: Fight Companion, outside. So here's a detailed peek at the color commentator's life and achievements.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's</b> e<b>arly life</b></h2>
Joe Rogan was born and brought up in Newark, New Jersey. He was raised in a family with Irish and Italian roots and went to Newton South High School in Massachusetts. He did not pursue higher education and dropped out of the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

The MMA analyst got his start in martial arts as a way to gain self-confidence and learn how to defend himself. Joe Rogan began karate at the age of 14, then taekwondo a year later. He won the lightweight division of the US Open Taekwondo Championship when he was 19 years old, and he later won the full-contact state title in Massachusetts and went on to attain the Grand championship, beating both the middle and heavyweight title holders.

Over the years, Joe Rogan has learned several martial arts, including Taekwondo, Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu, and practices yoga and lifts weights to complement his training. He is a black belt under Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, a style of no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and a black belt in gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Jean Jacques Machado.

Rogan's mother is Susan Lembo. His father, Joseph Rogan, was a police officer in Newark and also an amateur boxer. However, his parents divorced when he was young,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-joe-rogan-once-made-an-outrageous-confession-about-his-parents-when-their-mother-is-experiencing-violence-from-the-father/" target="_self" rel="noopener">and his father left the family</a>.

Joe Rogan and Ditzel met in 2001 at a bar in Los Angeles where Ditzel was working as a cocktail waitress. Rogan became a regular customer, frequently visiting the bar until they started seeing each other shortly after. The couple dated for eight years before getting married in 2009.

The couple has three daughters, Kayja Rose Connor, Lola Rogan, and Rosy Rogan.Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-is-joe-rogans-wife-jessica-ditzels-firstborn-the-daughter-of-famous-singer-dino/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Joe Rogan is also the step-father to Ditzel's firstborn daughter</a>, Kayja Rose Connor, whom he legally adopted in 2009 from her former relationship with the late singer Keven 'Dino' Conner.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan net worth 2024</b></h2>
Over the years, Joe Rogan has tried his hand in various fields, which has led him to become a fan-favorite UFC commentator. He secured a multi-million deal with Spotify for his podcast, and as of January 2024, he holds a net worth of about $200 million.

Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience has become one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with millions of listeners and subscribers.

His connection with the UFC dates back to 1997 when he did his first 12 events for free. But over 25 years later, he continues to commentate for the promotion and is paid well for it. It is estimated that he earns around $50,000 per event.

His comedy career also bloomed over the years. Prior to the pandemic, Joe Rogan performed at approximately 4 venues per month, with an average theater capacity of 15,000 seats and an average ticket price of $60. With an estimated capacity of 80%, the calculation would show 4 venues x 15,000 seats x $60/ticket x 80% capacity x 50% cut x 12 months = $17.3 million per year. Additionally, he has released 6 comedy specials, some of which can be found on Netflix, and is estimated to have earned approximately $5 million for his Netflix special.

Joe Rogan is a co-owner of the health and wellness company 'Onnit', which provides supplements, food, and unique fitness equipment. In 2017, Onnit generated around $28 million in annual revenue, and today it is estimated to be close to $50 million per year.

Rogan receives income from multiple sources through his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience'. He is paid by Spotify, podcast sponsors, and YouTube. The podcast is estimated to have around 200 million downloads per month, which calculates to 200 million downloads per year / 1000 CPM x $20 x 12 months = $48 million per year from podcast sponsors. He is estimated to have 130 million views on YouTube, and with YouTube's CPM, 130 million views per month / 1000 RPM x $4 = $520,000 per month from YouTube Adsense.

Hence, the UFC commentator has an estimated yearly revenue of $110,520,000 from various sources such as UFC commentating ($2 million), comedy shows ($23 million), Onnit ($2 million), Spotify ($30 million), podcast sponsors ($48 million), and YouTube Adsense ($6.2 million).

And with the renewal of his podcast deal with Spotify for a whopping $250 million, it looks like the numbers are going to change for good. He further no longer has the exclusivity clause, which gives him access to other platforms such as YouTube, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts, meaning he would be generating more revenue from them.
