With all my fights, my style is to pretty much put a beating on. I don’t exactly like hurting people, but unfortunately that’s what we need to do in this game to win. Alexander Volkanovski Read Quote
I just really like ground and pound. The way I do it, it looks like I’m just throwing bombs, but there’s some technique to it too. I make sure I’m controlling the hips, palming his face to the ground, just little things like this that make sure that the ground and pound works and I’m not letting him tie me up to where I can’t throw punches.

Some people fight and stuff outside the cage, but I never liked that sort of thing. I just always wanted to do martial arts and I finally did it at 22 years old, so later in life, but it’s all good. Alexander Volkanovski Read Quote
If there’s one thing I’d say to anyone out there, is that if you’re in this game, it’s a rollercoaster. There’s a lot of ups and downs. Alexander Volkanovski Read Quote
I could be sparring mates and you’re meant to hit ’em, but we’ll be sparring and usually I try and stop at the face, or I don’t really try and follow through, but sometimes they walk into them and I say ‘oh sorry mate.’ They get angry and say ‘we’re sparring get into it,’ but I dunno, I think I’m so used to saying sorry.
