Alexander 'The Great' Volkanovski has finally received his own adapted UFC Shorts and the fans are absolutely fond of it.
There was a time in the UFC where hunters could wear what they wanted from Jiu-Jitsu Gis and shoes in the 1990s to Speedos in the 2000s. That all changed when the UFC partnerships signed with Reebok and later Venum, the selection from hunters to uniform.
Of course there are some exceptions with different UFC stars that fluctuate their own looks like Sean O'Malley in his bright pink Shorts of Bryce Mitchell and his coveted RealTree Camo Shorts.
The adapted shorts of Venum was not anger until a month after Alexander Volkanovski was dethroned by Ilia Topuria on UFC 298.

Symbolism behind the UFC Shorts by Alexander Volkanovski
The nickname 'Alexander the Great' after the legendary Macedonian king who conquered the Persian Empire (and a large part of the world), Volkanovski gave a homage to his Macedonic roots with his adapted shorts request.
The shorts of Volkanovski came in deep green and gold with the Greek meander pattern.
There are two bay leaves under the waistband, which represent old symbols and victory, which Volkanovski has had a lot in his illustrious 16-Vecht UFC career.
In addition to the bay leaves, a round shield is shown with the nickname of Volkanovski who reads 'The Great' in Greek letters. On the other hand, the name of the former champion in Gold is fitting for his 10th consecutive title fight this weekend.
Volkanovski, born in New South Wales, Australia, also wore a star motif for his home country.
UFC fans are looking forward to seeing the 'best shorts still'
Alexander Volkanovski was not always loved in the UFC, but he eventually won the fans with his performances against Max Holloway and the Korean Zombie, still highly respected after losing champion Islam Makhakev and Ilia Topuria.
“Those are by far the best, tailor -made shorts,” wrote a fan on X.

“Daaaaaaamn that's the best shorts so far”, a fan chimde on X.
Adapted shorts and a return to the Octagon, it is a long time ago for Volkanovski who fought for no more than a year.
