Despite losing by a brutal knee that fractured his skull<\/a>, Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos will be getting his win bonus, as well as his medical bills paid for by Bellator MMA.<\/p>\n

Santos suffered a devastating KO loss from a vicious flying knee<\/a> delivered by Michael “Venom” Page at Bellator 158 over the weekend. However, Bellator MMA President Scott Coker said that they will be supporting Santos financially in his recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a huge fan of \u2018Cyborg\u2019 throughout the many years that he has fought for us,\u201d Coker stated to MMAjunkie<\/a>. \u201cThe guy brings it every single time out, and that\u2019s all you can ask for from a fighter. That being said, you never want to see a fighter sustain an injury like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBellator 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 \u2018Cyborg\u2019 his win bonus to help him find a little extra comfort throughout his recovery process, which we hope is a speedy one.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Bellator’s contribution to Santos’ hospital bills, both Page and Santos’ ex-wife Cris “Cyborg” Justino, have asked for support through a gofundme<\/a> page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
