UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski, known for his remarkable career within the octagon, has now achieved a milestone outside of it. The 34-year-old fighter, who has held the featherweight title since 2019, has joyfully announced the birth of his third child with wife Emma. The couple, who exchanged vows on October 12, 2012, has been together for an impressive 18 years, standing as a testament to their enduring love story.
Their journey into parenthood began with the arrival of their eldest daughter, Ariana, in 2015, followed by Arlie in 2017. Now, the Volkanovski family has expanded once again, as they proudly introduce their newborn baby daughter, whose unique name, ‘Reign Volkanovski,’ holds deep significance.
The moniker ‘Reign’ is not just a random choice, but a reflection of Alexander Volkanovski’s extraordinary reign as a UFC champion. Having defended his featherweight title an impressive five times since his victory over Max Holloway in 2019, Volkanovski’s dominance within the ring has made him a force to be reckoned with. Notably, his undefeated record at 145 pounds showcases his unparalleled skill and determination.

The fighter took to Instagram, where he boasts a substantial following of 1.6 million, to share the news of his daughter’s birth. In the post, he lovingly referred to her as “Baby girl number 3,” accompanied by the heartwarming words, “Long may she reign.” This announcement not only touched the hearts of his fans but also highlighted the fighter’s devotion to his growing family.
While Volkanovski’s achievements within the UFC have garnered immense attention, his wife Emma has been his unwavering support throughout his journey. Standing by him through thick and thin, she has traveled the world to witness his victories and challenges firsthand. Her absence from his recent win over Yair Rodriguez in July was due to her pregnancy with Reign, underlining the significance of this new addition to their family.
Looking ahead, the fighter is preparing for his upcoming matches, with a particular desire to avenge his defeat by Islam Makhachev earlier in the year. This loss, where he vied for the lightweight title, has only fueled his determination to continue striving for excellence within the octagon.
