Right now, Alex Volkanovski’s most recognised gong is a 2010 Mick Cronin medal.

But come December … well, this former Warilla Gorilla is gunning for something slightly bigger at UFC 245., 30-year-old Volkanovski has finally signed off on a blockbuster title fight against UFC featherweight champ Max Holloway in Las Vegas this December.Source:AFP

Apart from being on an undefeated run of 17 fights, including seven straight Octagon appearances, the rising Wollongong slugger is also gunning to further enhance his reputation as the UFC underdog king, having upset both Brazilian legend Jose Aldo and American wrestling star Chad Mendes in consecutive outings.

Back in July, Volkanovski sat front row in Canada as Holloway defended his gold strap for a third time against American Frankie Edgar at UFC 240. Volkanovski added that claiming the shock scalps of Aldo and Mendes had undoubtedly prepared him for a fighter many are calling the greatest featherweight champ ever.
