Volkan Oezdemir has undergone knee surgery following his loss to Anthony Smith at UFC Fight Night Moncton last month.
The former light heavyweight title challenger recently posted a pre-operation photo on his Instagram account.
“About to get my knee surgery,” he wrote. “Feeling great and blessed. I’ll be back at [100 percent] in No Time.”
The exact nature of the procedure is currently unclear, as is Oezdemir’s timetable for recovery. The 29-year-old Swiss fighter was submitted in the third round by Smith of their headlining bout at UFC Fight Night 138 on Oct.
