Alexander Volkanovski surprised fans with a hilarious sportsbook commercial, and Megan Olivi clearly enjoyed it.

Promoting his upcoming UFC 298 main event with Ilia Topuria, Volkanovski played the role of an old man in response to fans believing his age was the primary concern for his upcoming title defense. The humorous video for the Australian-based sportsbook Sportsbet lasted slightly over two minutes.

Upon viewing the video for the first time, Olivi gave her reaction on X/Twitter, aligning with the consensus opinion of most fans. She wrote:

"This is phenomenal"

The root of the joke the promo referenced derives from the often-mentioned statistic suggesting the champion's title reign will end on Feb. 17. In the modern UFC era, fighters at age 35 or older are a combined 2-30 in championship fights at or below 170 pounds.

Entering the UFC 298 main event, Volkanovski will be 35 years old. 'The Great' is already 0-1 since turning 35, having lost to Islam Makhachev at UFC 294.
