After the incident, Aldo had to sew the area with five stitches to close the wound. However, the man from Manaus guarantees that this will not interfere in any way with his preparation for UFC Rio.
“It was a normal cut. I've already struggled with my eyebrow sutured, that cut was on my head. This (cut) is a sign of victory. I was training last week, I went to do a double leg, and Hemerson Tigrinho didn't see it. We butted heads. I'm training normally, the place where the cut was doesn't stop me from training at all. It's peaceful. I got five stitches. It was supposed to be taken tomorrow (Wednesday), but I'll see. Nothing has changed in the routine, I'm training the same way, on the same day I cut, stitched and went back at night to train jiu-jitsu. The cut was right on top of the head, where there is no contact or impact whatsoever. The cut doesn't bother me at all”, said Aldo, in an interview with the website 'Combate.com'.
