Former Olympic gold-medalist and two-division UFC champion, ‘Triple-C’ Henry Cejudo revealed a piece of big personal news. ‘The Messenger’ sat down for a chat with ESPN MMA’s Marc Raimondi. Cejudo is going to be a dad later this year. He and his wife are expecting a baby girl on November 21st. And, Triple-C has a name in mind for her upcoming daughter. “I’m getting ready to be a dad man getting ready to be a dad. I’m gonna have a little baby girl November 21st. We’re gonna name her America,” said Cejudo in his recent interview. Cejudo is currently training with Zhang Weili. Weili is preparing for redemption against Rose Namanujas at UFC 268. The Chinese star dropped her belt to ‘Thug Rose’ at UFC 261. It will be interesting to see if there’s a different outcome in the rematch. Cejudo has already revealed that former flyweight Deiveson Figueiredo will be joining them soon as well.

(Photo by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC) But, Cejudo will have to take care of his family at the moment as they wait for the newest member to join. That hasn’t stopped ‘Triple-C’ from taking shots at the current featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski as the former is looking to become a UFC champion at three weight classes. ALEXANDER VOLKANOVSKI VS HENRY CEJUDO: THE FIGHT TO MAKE NEXT? Cejudo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/henry-cejudo/] has gone off on Volkanovski on multiple occasions. He has taunted the Aussie by calling him ‘The Average’, which is a dig at the featherweight champion’s moniker, ‘The Great [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-volkanovski/]‘. That has caught Volkanovski’s attention too. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/alexander-volkanovski-4.jpg]https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/alexander-volkanovski-4.jpg Volkanovski recently defeated Brian Ortega at UFC 266. It was a Fight Of The Year contender with both fighters putting on a show. But, he might have to wait for the next contender as Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez will engage in a title eliminator in December. The champion wants to stay active and a fight with Cejudo seemingly makes perfect sense considering the timeline. If indeed the fight eventually takes place, remains to be seen. It has the promise to be yet another classic given the UFC books it.

<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.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">

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.

In his pro-MMA career, Alexander Volkanovski has won a championship in every weight class (welterweight, lightweight, featherweight) he has fought at. In the UFC, he claimed a Fight of the Night bonus remarkable performance against Chad Mendes. Also, his title defense against Max Holloway at UFC 276, after which he picked up one loss as well.

Reports say that he also has an older sibling who is a fighter as well. &#8216;Volk&#8217; 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&#8217;s best player.

At UFC 245, &#8216;The Great&#8217; conquered Holloway and resolutely won the UFC featherweight championship.  The duo re-matched at UFC 251. As Max Holloway looked strong in the early rounds, many people thought &#8216;Blessed&#8217; did enough to regain his UFC gold. But, the judges had other thoughts and awarded the decision to &#8216;The Great&#8217;. With two wins over Holloway, Volkanovski inched his way toward the GOAT status in the featherweight division.

Moving on, &#8216;The Great&#8217; once again faced his former rival Max Holloway at UFC 276. But the result wasn&#8217;t much different. Volkanovski&#8217;s only UFC loss to date came in his UFC 284 main event bout against the current UFC Lightweight champ,Â Islam Makhachev. &#8216;Volk&#8217; decided to move up a division in order to give himself a shot at the coveted &#8216;champ-champ&#8217; status.
