‘Cyborg’ Santos Reveals Details On Horrific Skull Injury

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

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.

Michael “Venom” Page Aims To Be Royce Gracie Of Striking

Bellator welterweight contender Michael “Venom” Page continued his rise through the sport in his home of London, England yesterday (July 16, 2016) at Bellator 158, scoring a brutal flying knee knockout over “Cyborg” Santos. “MVP” has made a name for himself by showcasing his flashy and unique striking style, and he plans to revolutionize the

Speaking to MMAJunkie in the aftermath of the bout, the 29-year-old said that he’d like to be the Royce Gracie of striking:

“So many people have titles,” Page explained. “Not everyone can create a legacy in a sport.

“My standup style is completely different than anybody out there. That’s the kind of thing I want. The way the Gracies – Royce is here somewhere – what he did to the sport of MMA is what I want to do to the sport of MMA.”

Despite having three submission victories to his credit, striking is clearly the bread and butter of Page, and his puzzle hasn’t been solved to date as he boasts an undefeated professional record of 11-0. “Venom” has appeared to be on his way to stardom, and confidence has never been an issue for him, as he truly feels as if he’s the main attraction every time he fights. As for the future, “MVP” will simply look to keep knocking off opponents one by one:

“I always say, I don’t care who the main event is – I’m always the main event,” Page said. “I always go out to steal the show. I always go out to put on a show, and I know I have that ability.

“Again, Cyborg is a very credible opponent, and I wish him all the best. … But for me, it’s just another name. I keep saying it, but I genuinely believe for me, it’s just another name. I’m just ticking them off one by one.”

With his lengthy winning streak still intact, Page may very well be nearing a shot at 170-pound gold, although he isn’t necessarily in any rush to earn a title shot:

“I don’t chase titles. I genuinely feel the title will come to me when it comes to me. If I keep doing what I’m doing, it will come to me. Put as many people as you want before me. Let them have fun. When I’m ready to step in there, it will come to me.”

Have you been impressed by “MVP” thus far?

Now that was nasty!

What makes it even more of a gruesome finish is the fact ‘Cyborg’ has to undergo surgery for a fractured skull. Check out the grizzly image of his dented dome and the X-ray to prove the injury:

cyb — It’s likely that a future in the modelling industry has now been cast aside for Cyborg…

Will Page eventually head up to the UFC? His contract comes up with Bellator soon, but there’s been no talk or reports of negotiations with the bigger named promotion just yet. Perhaps a title shot in BMMA? He is seven fights and seven wins deep, so surely it’s on the cards soon.
