That is not the case for Alexander Volkanovski. Alex Volkanovski is the first Australian-born UFC champion in the history of the promotion – and one of only four men to ever hold the featherweight title. Coming off a win against Brian Ortega – a bout that won the MMA Hour’s “Round of the y

In the almost nine years since House of Cards premiered on Netflix, the concept of the streaming service original series has completely shifted the way television is produced, and the way we consume it. On-demand technology has brought many great things with it, and many great shows too, but there’s no denying that many of these shows feel like they’re missing something, and most of them seem to disappear from pop culture mere weeks after their release.
