A year ago UFC champ Alex Volkanovski visited Madame Nhu to talk about his "go to" dish before every fight and his then up-and-coming bout with UFC legend José Aldo in Brazil.
Alex said pho noodle soup is his "go to" dish before every fight.
"It's my thing ... after every weigh-in, that's my go-to now, that's my reload, every fight," Alex told ESPN. "Everyone knows I love my pho."
He would later go on to win the fight against the former world champion Aldo, proving that pho is the food of champions.

And what does a champion fighter and pho fanatic thinks of Madame Nhu's pho?
"That was a good broth," Alex said. "It's all about the broth".
We at Madame Nhu agree!
