🚨Alexander Volkanovski reveals his whole family wanted him to retire after he got the belt back at #UFC314  👪

"Straight after the fight [UFC 314], my whole family was like, 'Why didn’t you put the gloves down in the middle of the Octagon right away?'

They all wanted me to retire. Now that I'm continuing, they won’t bring it up, but they made it clear that they all wanted me to stop after the Diego Lopes fight."
