Alexander Volkanovski quickly became one of the most deserving UFC champions. The fighter sports a near-perfect record. Throughout his MMA career, he has had just one loss. That too, in his early career.

Post that one loss, he has managed to stay at the top of his game. While he started his mixed martial arts career in 2012, he joined the UFC in 2016. At the UFC, he fought some of the best fighters and successfully defeated them. Standing at 5′ 6”, he surely has a reach disadvantage against taller opponents. However, it does not seem to have affected him much.

While the fighter has had a beautiful career, he also has a beautiful family, which comprises his wife and two daughters.

Who is Alexander Volkanovski’s wife?

The featherweight champion is married to Emma Volkanovski. As per ‘First Sportz‘, Mrs. Volkanovski stands at 5 feet 9 inches tall. She has completed her B.Sc in Physiology from the University of Sydney. It is said that her father was a farmer. She also has three sisters.

Mrs. Volkanovski is also a fitness freak.
