Brazilian MMA fighter left with cracked skull after brutal KO

In the aftermath of Michael Page's Bellator 158 victory over Evangelista 'Cyborg' Santos, all that most people were talking about was the British fighter's Pokemon-themed celebration.

However, after watching the clip, it's impossible not to notice the brutality of the knockout itself, which left Brazilian fighter Santos laid out on the ground in the face of a flying knee from London-born 'Venom'. It later emerged that Page connected with such force that it left his opponent with a fractured skull, and Cyborg was admitted to hospital in the early hours of the morning. https://twitter.com/BitaNick/status/754453869258760193 https://twitter.com/BitaNick/status/754456407605383169 'Cyborg' has reportedly been admitted to hospital with the injury, and - as reported by MMA journalist Nick Strickland - is thought to have already been taken in for surgery. The second-round defeat left him with a career MMA record of 21-18, with Page extending his unbeaten professional record to 11-0 with seven knockouts. The 38-year-old, who hails from Curitiba, has lost his last two Bellator bouts after entering the promotion with a first-round submission of Brennan Ward back in April. The London card - Bellator's first in the British capital - also saw home favourite Paul Daley lose by unanimous decision against Brazil's Douglas Lima.
