Volkanovski underwent surgery on his hand

UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski posted on social media that he had undergone surgery on his left arm. Now the fighter will have to spend a six-week rehabilitation period, after which he will be able to return to training.

Recall that on July 9 at the UFC 290 show, Volkanovski defeated Yair Rodriguez by technical knockout. The win was the Australian's fifth title defense. At a press conference after the tournament, Alex announced his desire to have a rematch with the lightweight division champion Islam Makhachev, whom he lost on points in February.
