Mixed martial arts fighter Evangelista Santos has finally had his skull repaired after it was partially caved in during a cage match.
He had surgery earlier this week and has now released a few pictures of his successful seven-hour operation to MMA Fighting.
The pictures show the fighter with a dentless head after his forehead was smashed in when he was hit by a flying knee from Michael Page at Bellator 138.
"I had surgery yesterday, and thank God everything went fine," Santos told the website before leaving the hospital today.
"It lasted seven hours, and the hospital will give Bellator a full report later today.
"God guided the doctors in this surgery so everything went well."
