In a thrilling turn of events at UFC 314, Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski has finally received his much-anticipated custom UFC shorts, and they have taken the MMA world by storm.

Gone are the days when UFC fighters could flood the octagon in a mix of jiu-jitsu gis or even speedos. After partnerships with brands like Reebok and Venum, the UFC now requires its fighters to wear uniforms, but custom designs are still allowed for select fighters. Although some stars like Sean O'Malley and Bryce Mitchell have made headlines with their unique styles, Volkanovski's shorts promise to be a standout in the octagon.

These iconic shorts come on the heels of Volkanovski's heart-wrenching defeat at UFC 298, where he lost his title to Ilia Topuria. Now, with newfound motivation, Volkanovski's shorts pay homage to his Macedonian heritage. The deep green and gold fabric features traditional Greek meander patterns, with laurel leaves signifying honor and victory—tributes to his decorated UFC career.

An emblematic round shield, which bears his nickname "THE GREAT" in Greek letters, sits proudly on the shorts, alongside his name in gleaming gold, which reflects his impressive ten-title fight history as he prepares to re-establish his dominance in the featherweight division.

Born in New South Wales, Australia, Volkanovski even incorporated a star motif that symbolizes his homeland into the design, showcasing his pride both for his heritage and his country.

Fans have taken to social media, heralding Volkanovski's shorts as "the best custom shorts by far," with one supporter exclaiming, “Those are tough as hell!" Another added, “Daaaaaaamn that’s the best shorts yet,” showcasing the excitement surrounding their debut.

As Volkanovski steps back into the Octagon after over a year, the stakes couldn't be higher. He is set to reclaim his glory with the vacant featherweight title on the line against Diego Lopes. His first title reign was a formidable one, lasting 1,521 days and with five successful defenses, fans are eager to see if "The Great" can once again dominate the division.

This comeback fight not only marks an essential chapter in Volkanovski's career but is also a testament to his resilience and evolution as a fighter. Will his new custom shorts bring him the luck and inspiration he needs to achieve victory once again? Time will tell!
