Ahead of his anticipated UFC 314 fight, where Alexander Volkanovski could potentially be competing in one of the final matches of his impressive career, he`s hinted at alternative career paths.
This Saturday, Volkanovski will face Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight title, aiming to become a two-time champion. Leading up to this main event, the Australian fighter released a humorous skit where he jokingly reveals a secret life as a successful musician and producer.
In the entertaining video, Volkanovski takes viewers on a musical journey, playfully mimicking various genres, from power pop and grunge to Eurovision-style music, hair metal, and classic country. He clarified that he didn`t perform the vocals himself. The skit also includes clever nods to iconic bands like Nirvana and The Beatles, even drawing a comparison between Volkanovski and music legend Paul McCartney.
Volkanovski also expresses his eagerness to achieve his 27th win and join the “27 Club,” a darkly humorous reference to famous musicians who tragically passed away at the age of 27.
This recent skit follows Volkanovski`s impromptu singing performance at a UFC 314 press conference, where he serenaded Lopes with a rendition of Secondhand Serenade’s “Fall for You.”
