Who is Alexander Volkanovski's wife? Here's everything you need to know about Emma Volkanovski

The UFC's No.3-ranked pound-for-pound fighter Alexander Volkanovski enjoys a stable family life and is happily married to Emma Volkanovski.

Emma has done her B.Sc. in Psychology from the University of Sydney. The pair have been married for eight years as they tied the knot in 2015, prior to Volkanovski's UFC debut that came in November 2016 against Yusuke Kasuya at UFC Fight Night 101 in a lightweight bout.

It was after his promotional debut that 'Great' made the move down to featherweight, where he stayed until his challenge for the lightweight title against Islam Makhachev in February 2023.

Emma Volkanovski is a known fitness freak, which must surely complement her freakish athlete of a husband's training and passion for mixed martial arts.

'The Great' has three daughters with Emma. Their elder daughters, Ariana and Airlie, got another sibling, a baby sister named Reign, in August 2023. Volkanovski shared the news in a heartwarming post on his Instagram account.

Emma supported Alexander Volkanovski's decision to take the short-notice fight against Islam Makhachev

Alexander Volkanovski suffered the first loss of his UFC career against UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 284. The closely contested fight had ensured that there would be a rematch between them in the future.

Former champion Charles Oliveira's withdrawal from the UFC 294 title fight against Islam Makhachev due to a gruesome eyebrow injury presented Volkanovski with the opportunity to exact revenge. He took the fight on short notice of 12 days, which would probably worry a fighter's family.

Makhachev won the fight via first-round knockout and ended the Australian fighter's ambition to become a two-division champion. Volkanovski's decision to take the short-notice fight has been heavily criticized.

However, Emma Volkanovski fully supported her husband's decision to step up. While explaining her reaction, Volkanovski said:

“I chatted with the family and Emma, I mean, we both just had smiles on our faces! I don’t know why! I think she knew I was chewing at the bit to get back out there, you know.”

He added:

“I couldn’t wipe that smile off my face. She seen that. I think she felt that. And she goes, ‘I think this is meant to be’ and that’s what I felt. And then like, ‘Okay. Let’s Do it’!”
