Alexander Volkanovski doesn’t think becoming a two-time UFC champion is his biggest achievement.
Volkanovski believes his biggest achievement was his ability to always be himself throughout his career. While being an MMA fighter at the highest level in the world comes with a lot of added pressure, Volkanovski never lost his true self. The Australian sometimes still forgets that he is the UFC featherweight champion when people just recognize him on the street as someone they know from childhood.
Volkanovski admits that avoiding the pomp and show meant a slow rise to stardom.
