While the UFC-298 Pre-Fight Press conference featured some budding stars, all eyes were on Alexander Volkanovski on Thursday night. In an outfit worthy of another skit with Sportsbet.com.au., Volk pulled a few fast ones on the crowd and his opponent, Ilia Topuria.
Nonplussed by Topuria’s verbal jabs and attempt to preemptively steal the belt, Volk really lightened the mood, a fact even Henry Cejudo acknowledged: “I love the fact that there’s no attention drawn to me. I appreciate it!”
The fans appreciated it, as well. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
