After a two-fight stint versus Max Holloway in which initially won and then defended the UFC’s featherweight champion, Alex Volkanovski’s next title defence against Brian Ortega will have to wait a while after the Australian champ verified over the course of the weekend that a Covid medical diagnosis has actually put the fight on the rack for now.
Referencing the event on social networks, Volkanovksi wrote that he was “ravaged” by the turn of events and explained that he was as surprised as anybody to test favorable for the virus, given that he had actually provided 2 unfavorable tests shortly ahead of time.

” So devastated to share that I’ve evaluated positive and my battle is off and will be rescheduled,” Volkanovski wrote.
” We followed every policy and process to stay Covid-free however it wasn’t suggested to be this time. Thanks to everybody here in the States for your support since getting here and to everybody back house and all over the world for your favorable messages.”
His opponent Ortega, who was set to challenge for the world title for a second time after losing to Holloway a number of years ago, noted Volkanovski’s post online and wanted the champion a quick healing in a video post on Instagram.
