Rating of current fighters from 6 to 1

A little more than 10 years ago, no one would have thought that Australian MMA fighters would become so strong and popular. Now they are setting the pace worldwide, along with Brazil, despite the fact that the latter has been famous for its MMA fighters for many years. Australia is coming on the heels of brazil and UFC 243 was proof of that. It was an important milestone in the development of MMA in Australia and even now this historic event holds the record for the highest attendance at competitions: 57,127 people watched the bouts at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne via live streaming.

The first receiver of the title from Australia was Robert Whittaker, and the last titled fighter is Alexander Volkanovski, “Alexander the Great,” he’s defined as the best fighter on the planet. Now onto the ranking of the top 6 current UFC combatants from Australia.

#6. Jack Della Maddalena. A contender for the bantamweight title, he is not yet the most popular fighter on the list among UFC athletes, but that won’t before long. Despite two losses early in his career, he picked himself up and then won 10 straight. He is a difficult opponent, with accurate and fast punches as well as a good defensive technique. The 25-year-old combatant has a bright future in the UFC!

#5. Tyson Pedro. A contender for the UFC bantamweight title, Tyson Pedro is making his first serious fight since making his start in 2016. After defeating Khalil Rountree in the beginning, the talented bantamweight also won fights against Paul Craig and Ike Villanueva. Subsequently, Tyson Pedro fought Shogun Rua and Ovince Saint Preux, both of whom were highly ranked, but did not succeed. At this point, after successfully overcoming a knee injury, the fighter continues to improve his abilities, emphasize tactics, and score victories in the octagon.

#4. Casey O’Neil. A contender for the UFC women’s bantamweight title, she displays a remarkable talent for fighting. As a worthy daughter of a kickboxer, Casey started in martial arts as a child and came to MMA as a teenager. In 2019, she declared herself a professional. After 5 wins, she signed with the UFC and since then, Casey O’Neal’s career has gone uphill. She now boasts victories over Roxanne Modafferi and Antonina Shevchenko and openly states her goal of becoming the next Australian UFC champion through a win over current champion Valentina Shevchenko. Are you ready for the show?

#3. Jake Matthews. A contender for the welterweight title, he made his start in UFC in 2014 at a young age. Despite the fact that he has angelic looks, don’t be fooled by these. Jake is a natural-born fighter, a true gladiator and UFC has huge rates for him. He has not had impressive wins throughout his career, but he has steadily entered the octagon and beaten combatants such as Li Jingliang, Emil Meek, Diego Sanchez, and Andre Fiallo. He is currently one of the best Australian fighters.

#2. Tai Tuivasa. A contender for the UFC title in heavyweight, he has been a favorite of MMA fans for years. Tuivasa marked his beginning in 2017 with two victories over more professional opponents, and in 2018, he beat Andrei Arlovski, which was his large win to date. After that came a wave of losses and his fans began to think that Ty Tuivasa had reached an apogee of victories. They were wrong, and they realized it after the athlete’s 5 stunning victories. Currently one of the best fighters in the heavyweight division, overshadowed only by his loss to Cyril Gan in Paris.

#1. Alexander Volkanovski. UFC welterweight champion, the best Australian UFC fighter of all time, and currently. He could have been a heavyweight, considering his 200-pound body weight before coming to MMA, when Alexander was a rugby player. Still, the athlete decided that a lighter weight would be easier for him to win titles, and he wasn’t wrong. His career as a fighter started in 2012, and he came to the UFC in 2016 with a record, of 145 weight pounds. Since then, Volkanovski has not suffered a single loss in the octagon, knocking out Chad Mendes in 2018 and only adding to his wins so far. 2019 was a golden year for Alexander thanks to his win over Max Holloway. Right now, there are no athletes who can knock his win out of him. He is the Best!

As real fighting dogs, MMA athletes certainly don’t suffer for what they do, vise versa they enjoy it. They are used to experiencing pain, but they also rejoice in their victories!
