Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos is living the gimmick now.
The 38-year-old Bellator MMA fighter underwent a successful surgery Wednesday to repair a fractured skull that was the result of being knocked out by a flying knee from Michael Page on July 16. Judging by the X-rays, it looks like he will have to get used to setting off metal detectors at the airport.
Thankfully for Santos, the injury does not appear to be career threatening and he remained in good spirits throughout the ordeal.
Santos sent a set of before-and-after images to MMA Fighting that can be viewed below:
