Junior dos Santos Provides Update Regarding Bacterial Infection in Leg
Junior dos Santos initially thought he could battle through a bacterial infection in his left leg without missing his scheduled UFC Moscow bout against Alexander Volkov, but the injury ultimately proved to be more serious than originally anticipated.
The former UFC heavyweight champion ultimately spent more than a week in the hospital while undergoing two procedures to remove the infection. As a result, “Cigano” was forced to withdraw from the matchup with Volkov and was replaced by Greg Hardy in the Nov. 9 bout.
