While most humans would likely only want to be in a hospital getting cared for with having a fractured skull, Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos opted to check out of the hospital and into his hotel. With having suffered a fractured skull that was a result of a fight-ending flying knee delivered by Michael Page, Santos’ ex-wife Cris “Cyborg” Justino set up a gofundme fundraiser to help Santos out. With Bellator MMA stepping up to pay for Santos’ medical bills in addition to giving him his win bonus in the KO loss to Page, Santos told MMA Junkie that he doing just fine.
