Last week at Bellator 158, Evangelista Santos was on the wrong end of one of the most horrific knockouts in MMA history. In the second round of his scrap with Michael Page, Santos lunged in with a cross to the body. Page countered perfectly with a jumping switch knee<\/a> that landed clean on the forehead of Santos.<\/p>\n

The blow dropped Santos, who fell to the ground clutching at his head in pain. Following the fight, it was revealed that Santos had a fractured skull, and would need to undergo surgery to repair the damage done by Page.<\/p>\n

While the knockout was a spectacular one, Page drew some criticism for rolling a Pokeball at Santos after the fight in reference to the recently-released Pokemon Go game.<\/p>\n

Now, in his first interview since the knockout, Santos spoke to MMAFighting<\/a> about the situation:<\/p>\n

“Page proved he\u2019s a great athlete, a skillful striker. He doesn\u2019t have a good ground game, and that\u2019s what I was planning on working on in the fight,” Santos said, “but he\u2019s showing to be a douchebag because he doesn\u2019t respect his opponents before or after the fight. He\u2019s using bad people as influences.<\/p>\n

“He could become a celebrity with his talent and look up to other athletes, instead of acting like this. This generation looks up to (Conor) McGregor as an influence, and it\u2019s not what being a competitor is about. Throwing things after the fight\u2026 Honestly, he\u2019s a clown. The way he behaves is not how a champion should behave. He\u2019s talented, yes. He\u2019s skillful. And he fought a great fight.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
