Alexander Volkanovski (“Volk”) has been UFC featherweight champion for a little over 6 years, with his title reign beginning in December 2019 and continuing through early 2026.

Quick timeline

• Volkanovski won the UFC featherweight title in December 2019 by defeating Max Holloway.

• As of early February 2026, he is still listed and promoted as the reigning featherweight champion.

• That means he’s been champ for roughly 6 years and 1–2 months, depending on the exact date you count from in December 2019.

Extra context for fans

• A post in January 2024 noted Volk had already been champion for 1,500 days, which is just over 4 years at that point.

• Since then he has continued to defend and retain the belt, including defenses noted going into 2026.

So if you’re asking “how long has Volk been champ?” in early 2026, the answer is: just over six years holding the UFC featherweight title.
