BOSTON — Alexander Volkanovski spends his afternoons these days traveling back in time. Eighteen hours, to be precise. “It’s usually lunch time here,” in Australia, between workout sessions, he says. The time difference works out perfectly. It’s the previous night in Denver, and the Nuggets are usually about to tip off.
Wearing his pajama T-shirt that reads “Champion Murray” with the words “Playoff” and “Finals” crossed out, the UFC champion rests in bed and watches his favorite team.
“Everyone thinks I’m a bandwagon jumper now because I’m a Nuggets guy,” Volkanovski told The Denver Post, proudly showing off the same T-shirt during a video interview.
