I was never planning on just making the UFC, I was always planning to be champion.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
One of my biggest fan bases is probably Macedonians, they always get behind me. They're always hitting me up on Facebook speaking Macedonian to me which I don't understand, so I get my dad to translate it for me.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
My dad's Macedonian, mum Greek... so for as long as I can remember, my uncles have talked about our warrior blood.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
It's definitely tough when people don't believe in you. Actually, that's wrong. It's not that they don't believe in you. They just care. A lot.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I used to wrestle when I was younger. It was soccer, wrestling, rugby league and now MMA.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I made promises to myself and my family that I'd be in the UFC before my first daughter was born, that didn't happen. I was almost at breaking point a week before I got that contract, I was going to go back to concreting - that weekend I get my major sponsor, which was huge, and I end up getting my UFC contract the weekend after that.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I didn't think I could make the NRL, but I was confident in myself that I could make the UFC.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I used to play in the front row, I could eat whatever I want - but I got up to 97 kilograms. And let's remember I'm five foot bloody nothing!
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
My last year of football I started having a couple of MMA fights, and bringing the weight down. It started in the pre-season of football, just to keep fit, and I did really well.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I wrestled before rugby league so I always had a pretty good wrestling background, a good base, and that helped with my football. It just meant my balance was always so good; a strong core, good hips and just things like that just really played a factor in how I ran the ball and tackled.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
Being in UFC is a great promotion for me because I have more fans from all over Australia.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
My surname Volkanovski comes from my father's side, so I have many Macedonian supporters and I really appreciate it.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
My father is from the village of Beranci, Macedonia, and my mother is from Greece.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
That's the thing, I've got so many ways to go, even striking there's so many ways to go. I proved that.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
I think a knockout over Elkins will really put me on the radar internationally.
Quote by -Alexander Volkanovski
No one is really playing the good guy, but if they want to play the bad guy, I'm ready to play the super hero and take these guys out.
