UFC 237’s Alex Volkanovski released from hospital after recovering from leg infection

Alex Volkanovski is all healed up and back home in Australia after dealing with a nasty leg infection in Chile.

Volkanovski was admitted to the hospital just moments after his career-defining win over former featherweight king and pound-for-pound No. 1 Jose Aldo at UFC 237, where the 30-year-old beat ‘Scarface’ convincingly via unanimous decision.

Volkanovski was suffering with a bacterial infection in his leg, and it took over a week before the surging featherweight contender was finally released from hospital and allowed to travel back home.

Volkanovski uploaded a video to his Instagram account on Monday to let his followers know that he was back in Australia.
