After a UFC opportunity didn’t go his way, Alan Omer left the promotion and got back on the regional scene where he’d go on a terrific run. Winning six fights in a row, before tragedy struck.

After an impressive finish at Bellator 248, Omer had routine check-ups done when the medical staff made a shocking discovery.

Alan Omer Details Brain Tumor Scare and Speaks on Bellator Comeback

“It’s time for me to speak out after a long time of restraint. Sometimes life hits you with a big smash on your face, you have to accept and even appreciate it,” Alan Omer began, speaking on Instagram.

“It’s been hard time for me. In the peak of my life and my career, I have been diagnosed with a brain tumor. At a routine check for my Bellator Debut on September 2020, something abnormal has been spotted in my brain. I didn’t have any symptoms and first assumption was an edema. After long discussions I still got medical clearance to fight under the condition of complete clarification after the fight. Therefore, I am all the more proud of my performance and the sensational victory at that fight.”

“After the fight, I went to routine checks, nothing changed on the MRI,” Alan Omer continued. “2021 I planned my US debut at Bellator 258. What a great opportunity for me! But the American sports commission didn‘t clear me to fight. I needed to clarify what this abnormality is exactly.”

“At this point, I felt something is wrong and started to worry. Shortly after I received the shock of my life: I very likely have a brain tumor. A marathon of examinations started. A biopsy showed that in fact, it was a brain tumor, and not one of nice ones,” Omer revealed.

“In spring I had long surgery and the tumor has been removed to 100%. The surgery couldn’t have gone better. I’m in a very good health conditioning and even started to train again. All my life I was confronted with death, from start facing wars in Iraq and Yemen, throughout my sport – it‘s an extreme sport- until my diagnosis. Now in the second part of my life, I WILL FACE LIFE!” He declared.

Alan Omer Finishes His Beautiful Statement With Details on His Comeback Plans

“No matter how long we live, we are just a brief and certain period here. We should always appreciate our health, its the most valuable thing in life. Now I have to recover from my physical and emotional scars, but:

I will come back to the active sport next year
I will come back stronger
I will come back different
I will make history
it will be the greatest comback in the history of MMA, I promise!
Nothing has ever broke me, nothing will ever break me.”

Michael Page Blames Slippery Canvas For Poor Bellator 248 Performance

Michael “Venom” Page was not pleased with his performance last night.

Page made it four wins in a row following a unanimous decision victory over the previously undefeated Ross Houston at Bellator 248 on Saturday.

And part of the reason why Page was unable to deliver his signature knockout finish was because of the canvas being slippery. As a result, he had to completely change up his game plan against Houston.

“I don’t like to make any type of excuses whatsoever, and I’ve been in that situation before, bu this is the worst I’ve ever had it,” Page told reporters after the fight (via MMA Junkie). “The canvas was so slippery, I literally I couldn’t execute any of my game plans because my whole game derives on me moving my feet and being able to be agile, in and out, land shots and get out.

“Again, I don’t know if people will be able to see it in the fight, but I had to change my fighting style. I threw a punch and spun myself around and he threw a kick and literally threw himself off. I could see he was being tentative on his kicks and not throwing them with any kind of maliciousness and it was basically because the canvas was so slippery.

“I had to go traditional boxing and not throw many kicks, not bounce, so I made myself an average fighter, which is a lot harder to cover the ground that I need to land the shots. I had to play the grappling game, which again, I’m happy to do, but I don’t care for. I want to have a spectacular finish, but it is what it is.”

While many have criticized the level of Page’s opponents of late, Houston was a considerable step up being a former Cage Warriors champion.

And while Page is now targeting a rematch with current welterweight king Douglas Lima, he is open to competing again as the latter attempts to become a two-weight champion against Gegard Mousasi for the vacant middleweight strap. More than anything, it’s to remind people of what he’s capable of.

“As soon as possible to be fair,” Page added of a return to action. “If I was to take one more fight before Douglas Lima, but as you said, he’s got another fight and he’ll probably have a little time off, then I’ll keep busy and get another fight between that. But yeah, to be fair, I’m annoyed at that performance, so I just kind of want to get back out there and just remind people who MVP is.”

What do you make of Page’s comments?
