Jon Anik reacts to Alexander Volkanovski being presented with cool custom UFC 314 sneakers ahead of title fight

Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski received personalized sneakers as a present ahead of his title fight. The development sparked a reaction from UFC commentator Jon Anik.

'The Great' will lock horns with Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight gold in the main event of UFC 314. The Australian fighter has lost his previous two bouts via knockout against Ilia Topuria and Islam Makhachev. This weekend, he would look to return to winning ways and become a two-time featherweight kingpin.

Volkanovski was given personalized Nike sneakers painted with his name, moniker, and portrait. Celebrity barber Jose Eduardo Santiago shared a video in which Volkanovski was seen admiring the custom Air Force.

Santiago shared the video on Instagram and captioned it:

For Volkanovski, the fight against Lopes is crucial. A victory would earn him the UFC featherweight title once more, but a defeat may put him in a challenging position in his career. It will be intriguing to see whether Volkanovski can arrest his slide in the promotion.
