Dos Santos undergoes surgery; no timetable set for a return

Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos underwent surgeries to repair a deviated septum and a torn LCL following his slugfest with Stipe Miocic at UFC on FOX 13 in December.

At this point, there is no timetable for his return.

Bom dia pessoal! Acabei de sair da cirugia do joelho e nariz que tive que fazer e graças a Deus correu tudo bem. Existem pessoas que muitas vezes dizer muito obrigado, parece não ser o suficiente para demostrar sua gratidão pela ajuda que lhe prestam, mas ainda assim é o modo que podemos demostrar isso a eles. Então um especial muito obrigado ao Dr. MOISÉS COHEN e toda sua equipe que mais uma vez estão cuidado de mim e ao Dr. SERGIO MIRANDA e sua equipe que fizeram a cirugia do meu nariz, e sua filha MARIA VITORIA. #obrigado | | | | | Good morning guys! I would like to let you know that I just had a knee and nose surgery and that went very well. There are some people that a simple thank you doesn't seem to be enough to show them how thankful you are for their help. But I still want to give a special thank to doctor MOISÉS COHEN and his crew who one more time are taking care of me and doctor SERGIO MIRANDA and his crew who did my nose surgery and his daughter MARIA VITORIA. Thank you!
