Jelly Roll continued his Down Under 2025 Tour with a performance at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. UFC Champion Alexander Volkanovski made an unexpected appearance alongside Jelly Roll, joining a performance of “Need A Favor.”
Near the end of the concert, Jelly Roll spoke to the audience at Qudos Bank Arena, telling the crowd:
“Today I got to find out that a man I’m a fan of happens to know who my fat ass is. You ever just reach out to somebody you’re a fan of on Instagram like, ‘Fuck it. I’ll try’?
“I sent this man a message and I said, ‘I just want you to know, I think you are one of the greatest fighters of our generation. I think you are truly one of the greatest to ever do it. You are truly a GOAT, and I know Australia loves you when you come walking out to that man ‘Down Under.’
“I want to bring out my brother, the motherfucking champion, Alexander Volkanovski to the stage!”
Australian native Volkanovski, whose pre-fight walkout music is “Down Under” by fellow Aussies Men At Work, followed the introduction by appearing next to Jelly Roll. the current and two-time UFC Featherweight Champion showed off his singing skills on the subsequent “Need A Favor” collaboration.
“When [Jelly Roll] asks you to jump on the mic,” Volkanovski posted. “You do it.”
