Evangelista Cyborg Santos who is an MMA fighter has survived a very long surgery to repair his fractured skull from getting crushed on a flying knee!!!
Celebnhealth247 has photos and the 411 on Evangelista Cyborg Santos financial status for the surgery…
The Brazilian MMA fighter lost to Michael Page at Bellator 158 in London on July 16. But, thanks to Bellator, which is covering his medical bills, Santos had a 7-hour operation Wednesday to get his skull fixed.
Evangelista Cyborg Santos said:
“I had surgery yesterday, and thank God everything went fine,” God guided the doctors in this surgery so everything went well.”
You can actually see the staples in his head. We have heard that a GoFundme fundraiser has brought in over $24,000, but Santos didn’t want it. Earlier this week “Cyborg” said his ex-wife is “crazy” for concerning so many people and starting the GoFundMe effort.
Evangelsta continued:
“People exaggerate.”
“I’m fine. I’m at my hotel. I’m feeling fine. I chose not to go to the hospital (in London). I opted to have my surgery in Houston. I’m fine. Nothing happened. I wasn’t knocked out. I only felt the pain from the fracture.”
The 38-year-old, Evangelista Cyborg Santos, wants to use the funds to make his dream to benefit others a reality:
“When I was 11 years old, I started shining shoes to help support my family,”
“I had six siblings. My father worked the land, and my mother was housekeeper. I would come home from school at 11 a.m. and stayed out in the streets until 10 p.m.”
He went on to say:
“This time of my life had a tremendous impact on me, as I started attending an institute called Casa do Menor Trabalhador de Rua – the home for child street workers in Rondonopolis, Brazil. It was supported by business owners and nuns.”
Evangelista added:
“Ever since I was a child, I’ve wanted to repay, from my heart, the sense of security and direction I received at this project,” he said. “Today I’m the fruit of their labors. So I wish to use the money that has been raised to launch a great dream of mine, to offer martial arts, literature and English classes. That way, we can prepare new champions for the fight that is life, and encourage them to use their full potential – intellectual, physical and technical.”
Evangelista Santos hopes those who donated will understand his plan, but he does appreciate the support:
“May God bless each and every person for their positive thoughts, prayers and contributions. May the blessings also reach your families. And may God also bless Cris, who was so shocked by those images. Thank you for your friendship and concern.”
Evangelista Cyborg Santosis certainly a generous and caring man. We at Celebnhealth247 wish him a full recovery and healthy life. What do you think about Evangelista’s surgery and GoFundme plans?
