Alexander Volkanovski has never lost a fight under the UFC banner and is riding a 21-fight win streak.
The 33-year-old Australian debuted in the UFC back in November 16 and after five straight wins he was put in the Octagon with some big names.

Volkanovski then topped that success when he earned a decision win over featherweight legend Jose Aldo at UFC 237.
That earned him a crack at the title in December 2019, and he took his big chance.

The pair fight again several months later and although the result was not as convincing, he did out-strike Holloway to earn the nod from two out of the three judges.
Volkanovski then beat Brian Ortega over five rounds before successfully defending his title for the third time in his first outing of 2022.
The featherweight champion knocked out ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung in the fourth round to take his record to 24-1.
