Alexander Volkanovski has yet again proved his dominance in the featherweight division of the UFC. He convincingly defeated his opponent, Chan Sung Jung, and defended his title for the third time. Volkanovski knocked out ‘The Korean Zombie’ in the fourth round in the main event of UFC 273.

‘The Great’ has a specialized skill set when it comes to fighting inside the Octagon. However, he lacks behind in the art of trash-talking his opponents and indulging in mental warfare in the buildup.

Recently, comedian and podcast host Andrew Schulz pointed out the same when Volkanovski appeared on his podcast Flagrant 2. Schulz told the UFC featherweight champion that his trash-talking game needs to be improved. He even offered to help the 33-year-old fighter in achieving the same.

Schulz pulled out a few cards and passed them to Volkanovski one by one. The cards had one-liners and other insults for some famous UFC entities, including Conor McGregor, Dana White, and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

However, the most striking one was Colby Covington, which was enjoyed by Volkanovski as well. Schulz also showed him the clip from the infamous incident from a joint press conference of Covington and Volkanovski, when the latter said, “There’s nothing wrong in being a nerd and a virgin.”

When Volkanovski first saw the card, he looked positive, saw Covington’s name written over it, and started off on his own. He said, “Colby Covington yeah I’m going to like this one. Colby Covington, you’re a piece of s**t. How’s that?”

And then he went on to read the card which said, “Colby Covington, Colby you are faker than the t*ts on the strippers you pay in your videos.” Everyone on the podcast went bonkers as the punchline came through.

Both the fans and the UFC have appreciated Volkanovski’s career in their own way. The UFC pound-for-pound rankings are one important metric to judge the fighters’ status in the company. ‘The Great’ is climbing the UFC hierarchy quickly with his back-to-back wins and an unbeaten record. He holds an 11-0 record inside UFC and a 23-1 professional MMA record.

His recent win over ‘The Korean Zombie’ improved his position in the UFC P4P rankings as he surpassed Israel Adesanya. The UFC middleweight champion ranked #2 on the pound-for-pound list, behind top-ranked welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

However, he is now demoted to #3 as Volkanovski eclipsed him to become the #2 pound-for-pound athlete in the UFC.

Many fans predict that if the featherweight champion could continue his unbelievable run, he might out shadow Kamaru Usman as well. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ is one of the most dangerous fighters in the promotion, but Volkanovski has proven himself as a force to be reckoned with.
