Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms, appeared to be working out with Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya.
Just the previous weekend, Zuckerberg seemed to agree to participate in a cage match with Twitter CEO and richest man in the world Elon Musk.
In a picture posted on Twitter on Tuesday, Adesanya, Volkanovski, and Zuckerberg can be seen without shirts, with the message “This is Serious Business.” The two tech titans have been teased about a potential cage match for several weeks.
Who is Alexander Volkanovski?
Born on September 29, 1988, in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, Alexander Volkanovski is a professional mixed martial artist.
He is currently the featherweight champion in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) after winning against Yair Rodriguez in the third round of UFC 290.
He is also a former featherweight champion in the Australian Fighting Championship (AFC).
Before venturing into mixed martial arts, Volkanovski dabbled in wrestling and played rugby.
“I played rugby league, I probably played for about 10 years I think, and I wrestled before then,” he told MMA Fighting.
“I did about a year of wrestling, and I think I got a bit tired of the tights, so I started to play football with the mates. I used to be a front rower, the big guys up front. I used to be 97 kilograms, which is like 210 pounds, or something like that (213 to be exact).”
It wasn’t until he was in his early 20s that he decided to take MMA seriously. But he said that he’s always been a huge fan of the sport.
“I’ve always loved UFC. I watched it back since the days it wasn’t big in Australia at all, and you had to watch a Blockbuster videos,” he shared.
“They would always come like a year late, but I tried as many of the live ones I could or wait for the videos to come out. So, I’ve loved the sport for that long. I’ve always been into martial arts.
“So finally I said, you know what, I’m going to take this on and take it all the way. And it happened.”
Who is Alexander Volkanovski’s wife Emma?
Alexander Volkanovski married his wife, Emma Volkanovski, on October 12, 2012.
According to Volkanovski himself, they are high school sweethearts.
On Emma’s birthday in 2020, the athlete wrote on Instagram: “Happy Anniversary to this stunner!! 8 years of marriage, 15 years together…high school sweethearts. Here’s to many more years
together.”
Emma’s Instagram account remains private, but she does have a Twitter account where she shares posts about her husband’s achievements.
She once quipped in a tweet: “Behind every great man.. is a tall woman. @alexvolkanovski #champ.”
Does Alexander Volkanovski have any children?
Alexander and Emma have two daughters, Ariana, who was born in 2015, and Arlie, who was born in 2017.
In February 2023, the UFC star revealed on Instagram that they have another child on the way – a daughter.
“The balance between training and family can get tricky,” Volkanovski shared on Instagram Stories. “But as long as I’m giving both 100% and I’m not wasting my time when I’m with family or when I’m in the gym, I know I’m there for a purpose and I’m doing it properly.
