UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is showing off his cooking skills ahead of his upcoming title defense.
Volkanovski launched a new cooking vlog, “Cooking with Volk,” and he’s gotten fancy right off the bat. In Episode 1, Volkanovski takes us through his recipe of making lamb souvlaki and wagyu steaks, where he shows off his culinary skills.
The champ even went a little “Salt Bae” when adding his seasoning, before tossing the meat on the grill – or, as the champ says, “chucking it on the barbie.”
Volkanovski made sure he shared his two crucial tips when preparing steak for the grill:
“Make sure it’s room temperature. Make sure it is rested.”
Clearly, Volkanovski is keeping it clean and lean as he gears up for his second title defense against Brian Ortega in the co-main event of UFC 260 on March 27. Check out the full video above.
He also spoke a little about his new cooking show, and his upcoming fight, in this recent interview with MMA Junkie.
