Deepak Kumar is a UFC author at EssentiallySports. His love for MMA comes from the chaos and violence the fight business brings to the table. A BJJ aspirant, Deepak began following the sport as a casual fan when Ronda Rousey was finishing her opponents in seconds. Now, a hardcore fan of names like Petr Yan, Charles Oliveira, and Tony Ferguson, he just can't even miss a single fight. This has helped him develop a passionate understanding of the sport that he hopes to translate into his work. When not working, he likes to hang out with his squad.

UFC Veteran Daniel Cormier [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-cormier/] had a remarkable career as an MMA fighter. His fans will never forget his rivalry against UFC legend, Jon Jones [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jon-jones/]. But since his fighting days are long over, DC sticks to giving his takes from behind the mic. Recently, the 43-year-old spoke about the most anticipated fight of 2023, Islam Makhachev [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/islam-makhachev/] vs Alexander Volkanovski [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-volkanovski/] for the UFC lightweight championship. Many believe this to be an unpredictable fight, whereas DC has a clear favorite. Maybe that’s why he blurted out a take that Chael Sonnen absolutely ridiculed. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200526090000/407_Daniel_Cormier.0.0.jpg] CHAEL SONNEN BREAKS DOWN WHY DANIEL CORMIER IS WRONG UFC Veteran Chael Sonnen couldn’t disagree more with Daniel Cormier, claiming that a Volkanovski victory would be the biggest upset in MMA history. ‘The American Gangster’ also gave several examples from the history books of MMA, including MMA all-time greats, Georges St-Pierre and Ronda Rousey to prove his point.

Sonnen said, “There ain’t a damn sentence in there that I agree with.” “Daniel is a teammate, and I believe even a mentor to Islam… Daniel is really personalizing this and he’s saying man ‘I just know how good this guy is.” Sonnen explained how DC really wants Makhachev to come out on top. And would really hate to see Volkanovski snubbing the title from him. But, in no way would it ever be considered the biggest upset in MMA. RONDA ROUSEY VS HOLLY HOLM QUALIFIES AS THE BIGGEST UPSET IN MMA HISTORY In a YouTube video, ‘The People’s champion’ claimed that there have been many fights in the promotion’s history that upset MMA fans. And stressed that this fight wouldn’t come close to them, no matter how hard DC tries to prove otherwise. Sonnen explained, “there has been a number of upsets in mixed martial arts…” “you would say ‘like the night that Matt Serra beat George Saint Pierre!” and mentioned the historic UFC 69 match-up between GSP and Serra. He also mentioned Ronda Rousey’s [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ronda-rousey] infamous first professional MMA defeat to Holly Holm, at UFC 193 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-wwe-news-holly-holms-head-kick-ko-of-ronda-rousey-still-top-of-the-echelon-for-biggest-upsets-with-this-stunning-performance-despite-incredible-run-by-underdogs-in-2022/] to be “the biggest upset ever”. But, Chael Sonnen doesn’t believe that Volkanovski vs Makhachev would live up to the billing.

Chael Sonnen & Daniel Cormier are at crossroads for the UFC 284 bout between
Makhachev & Volkanovski; Sonnen brings in Rousey & GSP for aid.

<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">
<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/imago1011130171h.jpg" /></div>

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.

Apart from that, he won a gold medal at the Australian National Schools Wrestling Competition at 12 years old. Alexander Volkanovski's stats in MMA have been exceptional. He holds an amazing record of 26-3-0 in his MMA career.

His mother, Mary Volkanovski, is from Greece, while his father, Tony Volkanovski, has Macedonian ancestry and was born in Yugoslavia. Volkanovski&#8217;s mixed ancestry inspired him to give himself the moniker &#8216;The Great&#8217;, 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. &#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.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Islam Makhachev?</strong></h2>
Islam Makhachev came to the UFC as one of the young vibrant talents. The Dagestani fighter made his promotional debut in 2015 against Leo Kuntz at the undercard of his teammate Daniel Cormier's coronation as UFC champion.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="image-loader_es-image-loader-aspect-ratio__X6IHP"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-907840404.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>via Getty</figcaption></figure>
Makhachev has grown up and trained with the legendÂ <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Khabib Nurmagomedov</a>. As of October 2023, Makhachev is the UFC lightweight champion. The young fighter is proficient in <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.allthebestfights.com/makhachev-vs-tsarukyan-full-fight-video-ufc-fn-149/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Combat Sambo, </a>where he was the 2016 World Champion.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Islam Makhachevâ€™s early life</strong></h2>
Makhachev was born in Makhachkala, Burshi, Republic of Dagestan, Russia. Born on 27 October 1991, the Dagestani had humble beginnings, to a father who used to grow tomatoes and worked odd jobs as a driver and to a housewife mother, who ran a small cafe. Both their names have not been disclosed to the public. He also has an older brother, Kurbanismail. The family belongs to the Lak ethnicity, speaks the Laki language, and are devout followers of Islam.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Â Islam Makhachevâ€™s wife and kids</strong></h2>
Amidst speculations owing to rumors and a video that showcased the UFC fighter at what seemed like a wedding reception, we now have confirmation that Makhachev is a married man. Although not much is known about team Khabib's protege, reportedly, the fighter got hitched on April 8, 2021. Other than this and a snap of him and his bride in a white gown, not much is known about the wife.

Several notable UFC stars were also in attendance, such as Khabib Nurmagomedov, Zubaira Tughukov, and so on. Apart from this, as is the case for most Dagestani fighters, apart from an interview wherein he mentioned about his daughter, no other information is present about his kid.

While in conversation with Megan Olivi, Makhachev disclosed, "<em>Couple of months, I have been thinking about my daughter. I just want to come home."</em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Islam Makhachevâ€™s net worth 2024</strong></h2>
As of 2024, Makhachev has an estimated net worth of over $1.5 million. His net worth is expected to rise significantly, considering his ascent to success and phenomenal title reign.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Islam Makhachevâ€™s career timeline</strong></h2>
Makhachev signed a four-fight contract when he made his smacking debut in the UFC. As aforementioned, his first opponent in the UFC was Leo Kuntz, whom he defeated in a thrilling match via submission in the second round of the bout.

Another of his greatest fights was with Davi Ramos at UFC 242. The Russian proved himself and won the match via a unanimous decision.

Makhachev's only loss in UFC was against Adriano Martins at?UFC 192?on October 3, 2015. Martins dominated right from the start and claimed the bout via a first-round TKO.

In his recent run, Makhachev defeatedÂ <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/thiago-moises/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Thiago Moises</a>Â on July 17, 2021, as he claimed a magnificent submission (rear-naked choke) victory in the fourth round.

His next win came against Bobby Green, who stepped up to face the Dagestan-based athlete on short notice. Next, he facedÂ <strong>Charles Oliveira</strong> for the UFC lightweight title and won via a 2nd round submission.

At UFC 284, the Russian fighter successfully defended his title againstÂ <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-volkanovski/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Alexander Volkanovski</a>. Thereafter, for their second bout in UFC 294, the Dagestani continued his reign by securing a win with a head kick and hammer fists in the first round itself!

Now for his next fight, Makhachev is slated against Dustin Poirier as the main event for the upcoming UFC PPV 302.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Islam Makhachevâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Makhachev has made several endorsement deals over the years. He has partnered up with huge companies, such asÂ <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUCTnKhM5g2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wahed Invest</a>,Â <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/COScTJGKMDA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gorilla Energy Drink</a>, andÂ <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CERB-LKBjLg/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Hadaya</a>.

Ronda Rousey 2022 Charities and Foundations Rousey supports charities that deal with hunger and mental health issues. This has to do with how she lost her father to suicide when she was just eight years old. One of these organizations is the Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services, which provides free counseling for eating disorders and general mental health services for those who can&#8217;t afford them. Rousey has also supported FreeRice, a United Nations World Food Programme initiative that donates rice to those in need. For every correct response that people give to simple questions on its website, the organization donates 10 grains of rice. Rousey promoted this cause during her UFC days, helping feed up to 100,000 people.
