“Absolute beast,” is how Goodman describes Alexander Volkanovski, that fellow fighter, ‘Gong boy and good mate who on Sunday week will throw down for the UFC lightweight title on 11 days notice. “And how can you not love that?” Goodman said, going again about a mate he has increasingly got to know in recent years as, together, they have climbed the ranks, and rankings, of their respective sports.“A fighter who a lot of people think he should’ve got the nod against that first time around.Which is a little different to what he thought of Volk back in the early 2000s, right?
“There have even been times more recently where Albion Park plays Warilla and I’ll drive down from the Central Coast, and then back again same day, just to make sure I don’t miss the game.Which is also why in his undefeated career now stretching through 15 fights, Goodman wears the Eagles colours of maroon and white on his trunks.
