There's some big sport going on in the world at the moment.

The World Cup, the FIFA World Cup coming up.

In the USA, we've got the UFC Freedom 250 event on the lawns of the White House, and a man that's right in the middle of it is our next guest.

He is one of Australia's great sportsmen.

Alexander the Great Volkanovski has been good enough to join us this morning from up in Sydney.

G'day, Volk.

Hey, how are you?

Going well, mate.

How's old Sydney town treating you?

So Sportsbet promoting the FIFA World Cup, of course, have built this massive statue of the man who had such a big impact in our sporting culture as well to rival the New York Statue of Liberty.

Is it that impressive?

Fantastic.

Are you a soccer fan?

So you regained the featherweight world champion title back on the first day of February.

So what's the plan now going forward for you?

Outstanding.

Tell us about this.

Tim and I, we're not right up to speed with everything in the world of UFC, but this...

Freedom 250 event in Washington has got all of our attention because it's going to be on the lawns of the White House.

How does that all work?
