What Does a UFC World Champion Eat?

Ever wondered what really fuels a UFC world champion through a full day of training? In this episode of Cooking With Volk, we follow Alex Volkanovski through a typical day of eating and performance prep, from the early morning routine to the sessions that shape fight night. This isn’t just about calories and meal prep, it’s the full performance puzzle. You’ll hear directly from the team behind Volk’s engine: Jordan Sullivan, The Fight Dietitian Breaking down the why behind the food, timing, and how nutrition changes across training phases. Chris Jaffrey, Strength and Conditioning Coach How performance testing and conditioning targets influence what Volk eats and when. Paul Epsimos, Head Chef and Owner of Athletes Nutrition The man cooking the meals that keep Volk locked in, consistent, and ready to perform. Mick Baines, Physiotherapist Why recovery matters just as much as training, and how fueling supports staying durable and injury free. If you want to eat like a champion, train like a champion, and understand what it actually takes behind the scenes, you’re in the right place.
