Video: Alexander Volkanovski shows off infected leg

Top UFC featherweight contender Alexander Volkanovski is in good spirits after experiencing some unexpected complications in the wake of his win over Jose Aldo at UFC 237 this past weekend in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Shortly after Volkanovski’s fight, his manager Rhys Dal Cin sent out a statement explaining that instead of flying home to Australia, Volkanovski was at a hospital in Santiago, Chile, being treated for an infection.

Volkanovski provided a positive update on his situation Friday via an Instagram video, saying that the infection is being treated and that the worst appears to be over.
