UFC Light-heavyweight Krzysztof “The Polish Experiment” Soszynski will have to undergo elbow surgery to clean out bone chips from his right elbow.

The surgery is set for Wednesday, October 14th, and will sideline the Canadian for a period of four to six weeks.

The injury was aggravated during his last bout in the octagon when he lost a tough decision to Brandon “The Truth” Vera at UFC 102 in Portland, Oregon.

This may be a blessing in disquise for Soszynski, who will use the time off to ease all the other battle wounds that come from MMA training (and fighting) considering he has taken his fair share of fights on short notice. With the surgery and recovery time required, fans of the Team Quest fighter can rest assured that when he does return to the octagon, he will likely be as fresh as ever.

As for when will “The Polish Experiment” expects to make his return to the octagon? He hopes to be “back in the cage in January or February”.
