Islam Makhachev, the current UFC lightweight champion, spoke about how badly he injured his leg in his rematch with Alex Volkanovski.

“I had an injury, I still can’t hit. I can run and walk normally. But one day I went into the gym, ran around, and then hit the punching bag hard. And she got sick again at my place. I went to the doctor, he gave me a massage. He said there were no fractures, but a severe bruise.”
