Prominent Russian UFC featherweight Zubair Tukhugov said he had knee surgery.

“Yesterday we had knee surgery. Recovery will take 3-4 months. Hope to be back by the end of the summer. Good luck to everyone and take care of yourself!" Tukhugov wrote on instagram.

Tukhugov was scheduled to fight Ricardo Ramos on March 14 at UFC Fight Night 187, but was eliminated due to injury.

The 30-year-old Russian had his last fight in September last year, losing by split decision to Hakim Davud.
