Hold onto your hats, folks, because the UFC featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski, is proving he's more than just a powerhouse in the octagon! This incredibly talented athlete is showcasing yet another skill: singing!
Volkanovski, a two-time champion, widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters in featherweight history, recently shared the stage with pop star Jelly Roll. But that's not all; some fans already know him from his cooking show on YouTube, which boasts over 113,000 subscribers.
Before his last fight with Diego Lopes, Volkanovski gave fans a taste of his vocal abilities. Now, he's done it again! He and Jelly Roll delivered an electrifying performance in Sydney, captivating a packed audience. This event gave fans a glimpse into another of Volkanovski's hidden talents.
Last night, Volkanovski returned to the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, a venue that held a bittersweet memory for him, the site of his first defeat to Islam Makhachev in February 2023.
During the concert, Volkanovski experienced a moment of triumph in front of his home fans. The Grammy-nominated Jelly Roll brought him on stage, and Volkanovski presented his newly re-won world title to the singer.
But here's where it gets controversial... The real shocker? Volkanovski's rendition of Jelly Roll's hit song, 'Need a Favor.' He sang comfortably alongside the professional, leaving fans in awe of his performance. Many fans are now speculating that he might have a second career on the horizon.
One top comment summed it up perfectly: “Is there something Volk can’t do?” This prompted numerous replies, including, “He’s even ready to jump on stage and sing on short notice,” referencing his reputation for taking fights on short notice.
