Bellator 158 went down this past weekend (Sat., July 16, 2016) from the O2 Arena in London, England, and welterweight contender Michael “Venom” Page continued his rise through the ranks with a devastating flying knee knockout of Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos. Unfortunately, the knockout has been plagued by a simply horrific and upsetting injury suffered by Santos, as he left the arena with a fractured skull.
Despite the seriousness of the injury, however, “Cyborg” appears to be in good spirits, as he recently said that ‘nothing happened’, and that MVP ‘only broke the eggshell’. The Brazilian also revealed that his brain is well:
“I’m all right. Nothing happened.” Santos told Combate. “Everyone is so worried about me. They’re making fundraisers, but I don’t need anything. I’m really fine. He only broke the eggshell, but nothing happened to my brain. Bellator didn’t deny me anything, they’re helping me with everything.”
“Cyborg” has yet to go under surgery as of this moment, but he’s actually left the hospital in London and will head back to the United States as he simply felt as if there was no reason to stay in England:
“I didn’t want to stay in the hospital because I didn’t feel anything. I had no reason to stay there. I left and I will wait a couple of days to return to the United States and I’ll have my surgery there. Nobody needs to worry. Everything is fine.”
Details on “Cyborg’s” upcoming surgery are currently unclear at this time, but we here at LowKickMMA wish him the best of luck and a full recovery.
