During the event’s post-fight press conference, Volkanovski indicated that he thought that he broke his hand early in the trilogy with Holloway. “The Great” turned out to be correct. “Broke my thumb in the second round, but that don’t stop us! Having surgery today and will be out for 12 weeks. Looking forward to getting back out there, thanks to everyone for the support,” Volkanovski posted on Instagram on Thursday.
