Max is a true champion. I enjoy watching him fight but I want to get that fight. I want it.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I'm actually comfortable a little bit out of range as well. I like to pick my times when to come in. I'm very comfortable in the pocket as well.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
No beating around the bush. Give me the guys that are next in line, the guys that deserve it, and let's go.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
Nothing but respect to all the fighters that are in the UFC, but every single one of us wants to prove something. And you know, eventually, I want to prove myself in that lightweight division too.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I'm a freak when it comes to holding on the ground; it's just almost impossible holding me on the ground.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
Khabib is one of the GOATs as well. Nothing but respect for the dude. But I'm very, very hard to hold down.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
You see what I can use in my range, even with tall people, imagine what I could do to someone half my size.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
There are no excuses in fighting. You can be playing a team sport and have a good game, and you can lose. In fighting, it's all on me. If I go out there and lose, then it's my fault. I like that.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I've always loved UFC. I watched it back since the days it wasn't big in Australia at all, and you had to watch a Blockbuster videos. They would always come like a year late, but I tried as many of the live ones I could or wait for the videos to come out. So, I've loved the sport for that long. I've always been into martial arts.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
My first four fights in amateur at middleweight, and the first four professional were at welterweight. And I just kind of went down from there.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I played rugby league, I probably played for about 10 years I think, and I wrestled before then. I did about a year of wrestling, and I think I got a bit tired of the tights, so I started to play football with the mates. I used to be a front rower, the big guys up front. I used to be 97 kilograms, which is like 210 pounds, or something like that.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I like to stay active. I'm one of the champions chasing the contenders.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I've already took out the hardest guys in my division. Back to back we've got Chad Mendes, Aldo, and Max. Stylistically, they were the three hardest fights.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I'll be honest when I tell you, Max Holloway is the hardest matchup out of everyone in our division. By far. And I was happy to take him back to back.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I pride myself on being a family man. I pride myself on being respectful and hardworking. That's just me.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
You know, people are always asking, 'What's your brand?' and, 'What are you all about?' Then you get other people saying, 'You need to do what Connor McGregor does.' But that's not me. That's not who I am. I'm not going to talk trash and build off the bad boy image.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
You know, martial arts is all about respect and discipline and it's always been about that. But again, people are starting to forget that, people are missing that, and this is where I believe I can help and it's good for our sport.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
A lot of times we're being portrayed as thugs, but anyone who really knows us understand that we work hard, we diet hard, the commitment is full on. But alot of people don't see that. Some of the nicest and most respectful people I've ever met are in this sport. I truly believe that, and there's a lot of fighters that live by that.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I've pictured myself fighting a whole bunch of people. Not only the Max Holloway, but also Conor, Cejudo, Korean Zombie, even Khabib Nurmagomedov.
