MMA is significantly different from other sports due to a number of issues. The incredible amount of physical punishment that an MMA athlete has to take tops most forms of sports. Hence, it won’t be wrong to say that athletes need a powerful source of motivation to continue in this sport. While there are fighters who fight just because of their own passion, several other athletes have different sources of inspiration. UFC fans might have witnessed fighters thanking their coaches and teammates after winning fights. But, a lot of them have also mentioned to date that their families are their primary motivating factor in this sport of blood and injuries, which has been the case for Alexander Volkov.

The famed UFC Heavyweight, Alexander Volkov, also might have a similar motivation behind continuing in the UFC. But his rather quiet nature hasn’t allowed fans to know much about his personal life. The 35-year-old Russian’ has also kept his public speeches limited to himself and his career-related discussions. But, there are reports saying Volkov is a married individual. Some of them also mention that she is named Vita Volkova. But these might not be enough to answer the questions that the fans might have about this happily married couple.

The couple also became parents for the second time when Vita gave birth to another son in the year 2022. But sadly, none of the available reports mentioned anything about his name or date of birth. But the followers can catch a glimpse of both of their sons on Vita’s Instagram profile. There are a number of snaps on it that showcase the current Volkov family entirely.

The comments on such snaps are often centered around the little members of the Volkov family. A lot of fans might also label the Moscow native as a responsible father who takes good care of and spends quality time with this family. Alexander Volkov seems to have a lovely family, but one must wonder what his wife’s profession could be. Well, Vita is a businesswoman.

Her Instagram profile reveals both her roles. It is enough to disclose that she is a mother of two sons who also runs two companies. But, there are no reports about the services or products that ‘VICARE’ deals in.

Vita is likely to be rooting for her husband, Alexander Volkov, once more this weekend in the Middle East. The 35-year-old will take on fellow Russian heavyweight, Sergei Pavlovich at the co-main event of UFC Saudi Arabia. However, things won’t be pretty easy for him because Pavlovich is not an easy opponent by any means.
