After fibula surgery, Raphael Assuncao targets December or January return

Bantamweight contender Raphael Assuncao, explains the surgery he needed to have in his leg and explains how he wants to come back to the Octagon this year.

Sitting on the sidelines ever since a unanimous decision win over Bryan Caraway in October of 2014, Raphael Assuncao had to deal with a nagging injury in his ankle and leg, which were the main reason behind his setback.

Assuncao needed to have surgery in order to fix the problem, but at least now he is confident he'll be free from that problem and will be able to train gain soon.
