A mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran is hanging up his gloves. Evangelista Santos told MMAFighting.com that he is retiring. The Brazilian had 39 professional MMA bouts, compiling a record of 21-18.

“Cyborg” has competed for top tier promotions such as Pride Fighting Championships (Pride FC), Strikeforce, and Bellator. Santos was last seen in the cage against Michael Page. “Cyborg” was brutally knocked out and suffered a fractured skull.

While Santos had the itch to come back, he felt the risks outweighed the rewards:

“I’m feeling really well, never felt anything (after the surgery), but I don’t think I will fight again. I don’t want to risk getting an aftereffect for the rest of my life and don’t be able to pass on my knowledge, and give work to my family.”

When people look back on “Cyborg’s” career, they may see a tough individual who always came to fight. That’s exactly how Santos hopes fans portray his career.

“I want to be remembered as someone who dedicated his life to the sport he loves and always gave his best, and never picked opponents.”

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.
