Cyborg Santos Says He’ll Be Back in Six Months Following Skull Fracture

Cyborg Santos isn’t letting a little thing like a fractured skull get in the way of his career. Santos spoke with MMAjunkie about the injury he suffered against Michael Page during their Bellator 158 fight over the weekend. Some highlights are below:

On Cyborg Justino posting a pic of it the skull fracture online: “Cris is crazy. People exaggerate. I’m fine. I’m at my hotel. I’m feeling fine. I chose not to go to the hospital (in London). I opted to have my surgery in Houston. I’m fine. Nothing happened. I wasn’t knocked out. I only felt the pain from the fracture. At no time did I have any symptoms like convulsions or dizziness. It wasn’t a knockout. It was a fracture. It didn’t affect my brain. Everything is OK. People are crazy. I don’t need anything. At no time did Bellator refuse to help me.”

On his return: “The good side is that now I’ll make justice to my nickname of ‘Cyborg.’ I’ll be back in six months. Nothing happened to me. I’m whole, 100 percent. At no time did I lose consciousness. I’ve been knocked down by strikes before. I know what that feels like. This was simply a matter of pain from the fracture. Nothing was affected as far as my brain. And now my head will be harder than ever. I’ll be a cyborg, literally. Thank you for everyone’s concern.”
