Evangelista Santos returned to the United States on Tuesday night, and is ready to go under the knife.
The longtime MMA veteran suffered a brutal injury during his welterweight clash with Michael Page at Bellator 158, fracturing his skull after MVP connected a flying knee. Back to the United States, "Cyborg" immediately visited his doctor.
"I did another MRI on Wednesday and visited the doctor again on Friday," Santos told MMA Fighting, "and he scheduled the surgery for Monday."
According to Santos, doctors won't set any timetables for a potential return before the surgery.
