Alexander Volkanovski back home in Australia after dealing with bacterial infection

It took a little longer than expected, but Alexander Volkanovski is home.

The UFC featherweight contender hardly had time to celebrate his win over two-time world champion Jose Aldo last weekend at UFC 237 as he had to be taken to a hospital in Chile shortly afterwards to deal with a bacterial infection in his leg. Volkanovski provided a video update on his status the following Friday and he announced Monday that he is back home in Australia.

In the post, Volkanovski wrote that he was welcomed by his family upon touching down and being picked up by a limousine.
