UFC fan favorite and former featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is getting ready to welcome baby number four — but according to him, this is officially the last round in the parenting cage match!
The 36-year-old mixed martial arts star and his wife Emma Volkanovski recently shared the exciting news that they’re expecting their fourth child later in 2025, adding to their growing family of daughters. While many fans were thrilled by the news, Volkanovski made it crystal clear during a recent podcast appearance that their days of adding to the family are over — or at least, that’s the plan.
“I’m Done”: Volkanovski Talks Family Expansion on ‘Big Down Under’
Speaking on the TMZ podcast “Big Down Under” with Charlie Cotton, Volkanovski didn’t hold back when it came to discussing his expanding household.
“I’m done,” the Aussie fighter said candidly. “Look, man, I thought I was done before the last one, right? This one caught me by surprise.”
The couple had originally planned to stop at three kids — a decision that felt solid until life threw them an unexpected fourth surprise. Volkanovski laughed as he added, “It was a surprise. We weren’t trying.”
That surprise, though, is a blessing they clearly embrace — and fans have already begun flooding their social feeds with well-wishes and congratulations for “Baby Volk.”
Snip, Snip? Volkanovski Addresses Vasectomy Talk — And Why He’s Not On Board
During the interview, Cotton cheekily suggested that Volkanovski consider a vasectomy now that his family is growing faster than his championship record. But the fighter wasn’t so quick to jump on the idea.
“I’m not because I don’t know if that would affect me as an athlete. Probably not, but it’s something that I’m like, ‘I ain’t taking any risks.’ I don’t know. I ain’t doing it.”
Instead, the champ quipped that he’d be sticking to his own natural game plan, saying, “I’ll just make sure my pull-out game is strong.” ????
It’s a classic Volkanovski moment — a mix of humor, honesty, and that Aussie charm fans love him for.
From UFC Gold to Girl Dad Goals
Volkanovski is already a proud father to three daughters, and the soon-to-be father of four embraces his role with pride. Despite the chaos of fatherhood, he’s often shared moments from his family life on social media, painting a picture of a grounded, loving dad who’s just as fierce in the living room as he is in the Octagon.
Fans have long admired how Volkanovski balances his championship mindset with his dad duties — and how he keeps it real about the highs and surprises that come with parenting.
But First… Fight Night at UFC 314
Before Baby No. 4 arrives, Volkanovski has a much more immediate challenge — a main-event fight against Diego Lopes at UFC 314. The fight is set to be a high-stakes comeback moment for the former champion, who’s looking to make a powerful statement in the featherweight division.
And with another mouth to feed soon, motivation won’t be an issue.
Volkanovski fans are already rallying behind him ahead of the bout, with many wondering how the demands of impending fatherhood might impact his focus — but if his career has proven anything, it’s that family fuels his fire.
UFC’s Funniest Dad? Volkanovski’s Down-to-Earth Vibes Go Viral
While Volkanovski is known for his brutal knockout power and fight IQ, his off-cage personality is what makes him a fan favorite. He’s charismatic, self-deprecating, and always down to crack a joke — like when he joked his wife Emma might “kick his ass” for revealing too much in the interview.
“That is, unless Emma kicks my ass first for this interview!” he laughed.
Fans love that about him — the ability to toggle between elite athlete and goofy dad mode. And with more hilarious dad content on the way, his growing family might just be the secret weapon behind his enduring success.
Final Thoughts: The Volk Family Grows, and So Does the Legend
Whether he’s throwing punches or throwing dad jokes, Alexander Volkanovski continues to win hearts — both inside and outside the Octagon. With baby number four on the way and a massive UFC 314 headliner coming up, it’s clear 2025 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years of his life.
And while the champ might be done making babies (for real this time?), he’s definitely not done making headlines.
