There was no UFC 237 post-fight celebration for surging featherweight contender Alex Volkanovski.
Just one day after his dominant, unanimous decision win over former featherweight king Jose Aldo at Rio’s Jeunesse Arena, Volkanovski was admitted to a local hospital after demonstrating signs of infection.
It turns out Volkanovski had a nasty bacterial infection in his right leg, but the 30-year-old is on the mend.
The Australian gave a positive health update on social media, where he showed off his infected leg in an Instagram video.
“We got good news this morning that the infection’s starting to go down now,” Volkanovski said in his vlog (h/t MMA Fighting).
