UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski of Australia talked about his recovery from the elective elbow surgery he underwent in July.
I want to be back in there before the end of the year. Islam’s fighting. I want that rematch, but he’s fighting in October, so I want to fight before then. I don’t want to fight early next year. If I was going to wait that long, it might as well be Islam, but I don’t want to wait that long. So Ilia, keep running your mouth, it makes me want to punch you in the face even more.
