Bellator President Scott Coker said Evangelista Santos can rest easier as he recovers from a devastating knockout blow at this weekend’s Bellator 158 event. Not only did Coker confirm that the promotion will take care of any and all medical bills stemming from “Cyborg” Santos’ skull-crushing knockout loss to Michael Page, but the Bellator head said the organization will also pay the Brazilian slugger his “win” bonus, as well. “I’ve been a huge fan of ‘Cyborg’ throughout the many years that he has fought for us,” Coker stated to MMAjunkie. “The guy brings it every single time out, and that’s all you can ask for from a fighter. That being said, you never want to see a fighter sustain an injury like that.
