Shortly after beating Dunham less than two minutes into the match, the Brazilian showed a lot of discomfort with his foot and left the Octagon with a heavy limp. In the interview after the clash, Herbert spoke about the situation, but assured that he will recover soon.
“My foot is bleeding a lot. I think that when I tried to push him against the fence, I stepped with my left foot on the junction between the fence and the octagon floor and something there cut me. It’s bothering you a little, but it’s going to be okay,” said Burns.
After medical evaluation, the Brazilian needed stitches at the site to stop the blood and promote a faster recovery. Now, the Niteroi native is waiting for his next appointment within the company.
