UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is doing well after undergoing surgery on his left arm Monday.
Volkanovski's manager, Ash Belcastro, relayed the news to MMA journalist Ariel Helwani.
"UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski had surgery on his left arm yesterday," Helwani tweeted.
"His manager Ash Belcastro told me all went well. He just needs six weeks of rehab and then straight back to full contact training. He's been dealing with that injury for a year, he said, and it became "unbearable" during this fight camp."
Volkanovski just defended and unified the UFC featherweight championship after defeating Yair Rodriguez via third-round TKO on July 8.
