- Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos not only lost his Bellator 158 bout to Michael “Venom” Page on Saturday in London, he also suffered a fractured skull that will require surgery.
Santos’ ex-wife, Cris “Cyborg” Justino posted about his injury on social media, and then Santos himself verified the injury and the need for surgery to MMAFighting.com.
“Fight fans, please say a prayer for me ex-husband Cyborg Santos. Many of you watched him fight on Spike TV this weekend when he suffered this injury, while fighting in London,” Justino said when posting a picture of Santos and the fracture on Instagram. “Cyborg is still in the hospital in the UK, and they are not sure when he will be able to fly again. He has not had surgery yet and there is worry the brain can continue to swell causing more damage.”
Page took Santos out late in the second round of their fight at the O2 Arena, sending him crashing to the canvas with a flying knee to the forehead. Santos immediately covered up, bringing an end to the fight. He was later transported to an area hospital.
“I’m under observation now, and will have surgery in the United States,” Santos told MMAFighting. “I had a serious injury, but Bellator is giving me all the support I need.”
Justino noted in her Instagram post that Bellator would be covering Santos’ medical expenses, but said that a GoFundMe page was in the planning stages to help Santos with expenses during his recovery. http://www.mmaweekly.com/evangelista-cyborg-suffers-fractured-skull-from-michael-pages-flying-knee | |

| that MVP is something else. I cant wait for them to set him up with higher ranked opponents. would be interesting to see him fight Lima, koscheck, or daley.
right away I knew something bad happened to cyborg just by his reaction to that knee.
hope dude is ok. I heard that he is saying that he will be able to fight in 3 months. I hope we don't see him in a cage for a long time. | |

| Yeah the way he went down was pretty telling, given that he clearly wasn't unconscious but was definitely hurt badly and/or alarmed for his own well being. I immediately said to myself "Ooooh, something's broken!". But I was thinking like an eye socket or something. I didn't imagine in my wildest dreams that Michael Page literally just caved in the front of his skull with a flying knee.
Page needs to change his nickname from "Venom" to "Skullcrusher", because he's the only fighter I know of that can actually call himself that and it would be a literally and justifiably accurate nickname. | |
