"Where is this short guy?" Islam Makhachev said as he called out Alexander Volkanovski for a super showdown in Australia.
And while many fans and fighters have underestimated Volkanovski because of his height, with time we have come to understand, it's just a number.
Alexander Volkanovski reigns supreme as the UFC's featherweight champion and is arguably the greatest featherweight of all time.
With multiple wins over the likes of Max Holloway, and decisive victories over Brian Ortega, Chad Mendes among others, Volk is a featherweight legend.
Alexander Volkanovski stands at 5ft 6 inches or 168 cm. He is not the tallest of the fighters but has always stood tall inside the UFC Octagon.
At a relatively young age, Volkanovski boasts an incredible record and has already cemented his legacy as one of the greatest of all time.
While height may be a factor, Volkanovski's quickness inside the Octagon and his fight IQ gives him an edge over other fighters.
Beating Max Holloway thrice is certainly no joke, and remind you, Holloway is tall! Taller than most of the featherweights to ever compete inside the UFC.
Alexander Volkanovski reveals his actual weight during fight day and how much he has bulked up for lightweight debut.
