Rodrigo Minotauro (right) shows arm operated on last week
The heavy weight Rodrigo Minotauro underwent surgery on his right arm last week to treat the fracture acquired in the fight against Frank mir No. UFC 140. During the procedure, 16 screws were fixed to the Brazilian fighter to help fix a plate in the humerus. But this weekend, Minotauro released a photo of his arm after the operation.
According to a note released by the doctor, Dr. Thomas Hamck, who operated on Minotauro, the Tupiniquim athlete will be able to return to combat in June of next year.
Understand the case
Rodrigo Minotauro had the long-awaited rematch against Frank mir, the first fighter to knock out the Brazilian. After a great start, Minotauro almost knocked out the North American. But after trying to end the dispute with a submission, he was surprised by Mir's quick recovery who landed a Kimura, a lock that attacks the arm and shoulder. As Rodrigo did not give up the fight, he ended up fracturing his humerus.

minotauro great champion the only one to win three world mma competitions…in japan he made history….i still believe in his potential…unfortunately in the rematch against frank mir it was a shame what happened, because he was in control of the fight, it showed his sovereignty, but unfortunately due to a change of position he ended up giving guard to his opponent, who took advantage of the position and got a very tight armbar and submitted him….LET'S GO MINOTAUR I'LL BE ROOTING FOR YOUR RETURN, AFTER ALL YOU'RE THE MMA ROCK BALBOA!!!
