For his upcoming championship bout, Alexander Volkanovski is showcasing a brand-new design for his custom fight shorts.
This Saturday, at UFC 314, Volkanovski will compete in the main event against Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight title. The fight will take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, offering Volkanovski the chance to become a two-time champion in the featherweight division. The title became available after Ilia Topuria relinquished it to move to the lightweight class.
Volkanovski`s custom shorts are specifically designed for this headline fight and are pictured below.
He now joins a select group of prominent UFC fighters, including names like Israel Adesanya and Max Holloway, who are known for having custom gear created for major fights. This Saturday will mark Volkanovski`s tenth consecutive appearance in a championship fight.
After losing his featherweight title to Topuria at UFC 298 by knockout, the 36-year-old Volkanovski now has an opportunity to reclaim it without immediately facing Topuria again. He will be facing a formidable opponent in Lopes, a popular fighter who has secured five consecutive victories since a narrow decision loss in his debut against Movsar Evloev in 2023.
