Alexander Volkanovski shows off UFC 314 custom fight shorts

Alexander Volkanovski will be wearing a custom fight kit for his main event title fight at UFC 314.

This Saturday at Kaseya Center in Miami, Volkanovski (26-5 MMA, 13-4 UFC) will take on Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight title.

On Tuesday, the promotion revealed Volkanovski’s custom shorts and the former champion explained the details of the kit himself before trying it on. The green shorts feature Volkanovski’s nickname, “The Great,” in a Greek font, along with a Macedonian flag and floral touches.

Check out a video of the moment below:

Volkanovski will be competing in his 10th consecutive title fight, while Lopes (27-6 MMA, 6-1 UFC) gets his first championship opportunity. The main event title fight tops a 13-fight card, which also features key matchups like Michael Chandleer vs. Paddy Pimblett, Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva, and Yair Rodriguez vs. Patricio Freire.
