PUBLICITY:

Alexander Volkanovski last fought in April and, since then, has been making the most of his 'vacation' period in the UFC. With no fight scheduled in the octagon, the intrepid featherweight champion (up to 65,8 kg) attended a concert by Jelly Roll, a rapper turned country singer, held in Australia last week. In fact, the veteran couldn't contain his excitement.

On his official Instagram account, Volkanovski, when called to the stage by the singer, belted out a song and showed stage presence, as if he were a real singer. Holding the Australian's belt, the music star let him enjoy the moment.

This wasn't the first time 'The Great' has attracted attention outside the octagon. Besides his recent appearance as a singer, Volkanovski boasts impressive fighting skills in the UFC and showcases his culinary talents on his official YouTube channel.

"When Jellyr Roll calls you to speak on the microphone, you speak. Thanks for having me, brother," wrote the UFC champion.

Next fight

To date, the UFC has yet to determine Alexander Volkanovski 's next opponent in his second reign as featherweight champion. Currently, four fighters are being considered to challenge the Australian champion: Diego Lopes , Lerone Murphy , Movsar Evloev , and Yair Rodriguez . The veteran has already defeated both the Brazilian and the Mexican.
