Alexander Volkanovski names his top five MMA stars of all time

Alexander Volkanovski recently shared his top five mixed martial artists of all time during a Q&A session on his YouTube channel. Despite his absence from the octagon since losing his title to Ilia Topuria at UFC 298 in Feb, Volkanovski remains active in the MMA conversation.

Volkanovski’s list includes some of the sport's most iconic names: Demetrious Johnson, Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva, and Israel Adesanya:

"Top five fighters of all time, damn. Alright, let’s get into it. I’m going to say Demetrious Johnson. I’m going to have to throw Jon Jones in there. Everyone knows my take on the trouble outside of it, but he’s just been champ. He’s been at the top forever so you can’t not [include him]. I know a lot of people are always going to throw out them things - and I do myself because I pride myself on trying to stay away from all that crap as well - but you can’t deny his skill."

He also highlighted Israel Adesanya, his City Kickboxing teammate, as one of the greatest strikers in UFC history:

"I’ll throw my boy Israel Adesanya as well. A lot of championships. When it comes to striking, I honestly think he’s the greatest striker the UFC has ever seen so I’m going to go with Israel Adesanya as well."
