Fight fans Please say a prayer for my Ex husband Cyborg Santos. Many of you watched him fight on Spike TV this weekend when he suffered this injury while fighting in London. Cyborg is still in the hospital in the UK, and they are not sure when he will be able to fly again. He has not had surgery yet and their is worry the brain can continue to swell causing more damage. Click The link In My bio to donate to his #GoFundMe and support him and his family at this time. Thank you God for your protecion, The dr said this very Easily could have been life threatening. Please show your support for the fighters and share!
Due to his injury he can’t fly which means he has to pay for expenses until he can have an operation to repair his skull. So far in just 48 hours with her 269K fans and by spreading the word, they have managed to raise $16,605 of their $20K goal.
Page also supported the fund raising effort by donating himself and sharing on twitter.
UPDATE: Bellator President Scott Coker says that he will take care of all of Santos medical bills.
In a statement to MMAJunkie, Coker said,
I’ve been a huge fan of ‘Cyborg’ throughout the many years that he has fought for us. The guy brings it every single time out, and that’s all you can ask for from a fighter. That being said, you never want to see a fighter sustain an injury like that.
Bellator representatives have been present with him at the hospital throughout this process, and we are taking care of any medical bills that he incurs. In addition, we are going to go ahead and pay ‘Cyborg’ his win bonus to help him find a little extra comfort throughout his recovery process, which we hope is a speedy one.
Nice. Scott Coker showing a lot of class there.
Let’s hope that Cyborg has a full recovery. It might be time to hang up the fighting shorts and think about coaching. OUCH!!
