10 Best Pound-For-Pound Fighters Currently In The UFC

If you've ever been involved in a game of rugby or just watched a match on TV, you'll know one thing. The people who play that sport for a living take the word ferocious to another level.

So former semi-professional Australian rugby league player Alexander Volkanovski was always going to have that going for him from the moment he decided to drop the egg-shaped ball and strap on a pair of fingerless gloves instead.

Creating a name for himself on the Australian MMA scene as a well-rounded arse kicker - capable of tapping you out with a multitude of chokes or obliterating you with a bombardment of punches - it wasn't long before Dana White came calling.

Inside of the UFC, the City Boxing star then went on a run which saw him amass victories over Darren Elkins, Chad Mendes and Jose Aldo, before he was finally afforded a shot at the UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway.

Completely bullying Holloway from start to finish, Volkanovski convincingly usurped the Hawaiian at UFC 245 and in doing so became one of the P4P top commodities in the promotion.

With a tenacious style which incorporates Muay Thai, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and boxing, Volkanovski has everything in his arsenal to deal with any threat that comes his way in that Featherweight division.

The question is, could we see him jump up or down a weight-class to claim a second belt down the line? If he knocks off Holloway in the rematch, anything is possible.
