Alexander Volkanovski Talks About His Brutal Fight-Week Weight Cut

“The easy part is fighting—it’s only 25 minutes; weight cut is hard,” Volkanovski said. He stated he drops "anywhere from 7 to 8 kg (15 to 18 pounds) in a fight week," including “five liters of sweat” overnight. The featherweight champion defends his belt against Diego Lopes on January 31 in a rematch after winning their first fight in 2025.
