    Check out behind the scenes of Alexander Volkanovski's training camp nutrition and diet where he cuts back to featherweight against Yair Rodriguez coming at UFC 290.
    Alexander Volkanovski will return to the Octagon July 8th with the UFC featherweight champion defending his crown against interim title holder Yair Rodriguez.
    Volkanovski is looking to bounce back after suffering a razor-close decision loss earlier this year to Islam Makhachev.

    Volks key to success is so obvious in videos like this - he has an outstanding cast of characters there for each training session with one goal in mind - to HELP him preapre. Its entirely centred on his safety and his training. No gym brawls. No egos. They all come in to offer their help through their time, their bodies for one purpose only - HELP VOLK WIN.

      Most of those guys would be paid well, most of the top fighters spend big money on their camps before a fight, including paying sparing partners with the skills they want to work on to come in and stay for the whole camp. All in order to get them as prepared as possible. I read somewhere I cannot remember who it was, might have even been Volk, spent over a million on his pre-fight camp.

      Yair has really come into his own over the past few years. The version in fans minds who got beat up by Frankie Edgar should be ancient history, instead he's one of the best Featherweights in the world and only getting better all the time. Definitely a real challenge for Alex, and dangerous for 25 minutes. The fight with Yair will also determine whether the 'dominant champ' era of MMA is either still here to stay, or over.
