So you wanna be a fuckin' fighter?!
Santos didn't even go out. Tough dude. I can't find any updates on his condition. Hope he's ok.

Bloody 'ell!!!......Crushed his nasal cavity from what this looks like.
Couldn't see that from tv camera angle.
Nose surgey in his near future.
I think he'll be alright though, thankfully.
He'll be aight. Skulls are mobile and shit.
Holy shit...
Good he is being watched and nothing 'serious' happened. Seems like he will get back to full health, right?

damn that has to be top 3 most fucked up mma injuries. the force required to smash your skull in like that is insane
Why not?
His eyes seem to be fine, no internal bleeding (not a doctor but I don't think the brain is permanently injured apart from maybe a concussion, otherwise the docs wouldn't be so relaxed I guess)
So, this will hopefully heal like any other bone. Or what am I missing?
Ok scratch what I said, I just read Cyborg's post. Apparently Bellator will be taking care of his medicals, but Cyborg launches a go fund me because he won't be able to compete for a long time. I hope the surgery takes place as soon as possible and it's succesful.
Yeah haven't even thought about that, maybe a plate, dunno. Sure it will take time, but I really wouldn't be surprised to see him compete again at least once, dude is a fighter.I hope your right. That just seems like the type injury it would be hard to fully recover from. Idk what procedure it for that. I would think plate or something. Idk.@Splinty ?
Holy fuck that is horrible. Feel terrible for the guy. Hopefully he gets some good medical treatment and is able to get through this but god damn that is horrendous looking.
A "go fund me" should be completely unnecessary. If Coker is the stand up guy we all claim, he will make sure Bellator covers every cent required for Cyborg's care...if not he can fuck off and join EGG, Gary Shaw and the long list of boxing promoters in the land off scummy fight promoters.

so u didnt read the post i take it?
Yeah I read it, "supposed" to and DOES is not the same thing. If they do cover it fine, that's what they are "supposed" to do.

but she was saying the go fund me would be used since he will be out of work for awhile.
Yeah, for sure...I don't disagree that it IS necessary. But, again it should be unnecessary. Any decent promoter would make sure, even to the detriment to their own bottom line, to take care of the fighters that put their lives and health on the line for your promotion. If they have to pay his bills for 6 months or a year...so be it, his skull was crushed for your promotion. If his career is over, than I hope he has already set up a plan to transition to a post mma career in teaching/coaching or whatever.
Saw the image on Facebook. Hope he recovers.
This is why knees too the head scare the shit out of me.
