RIP Anthony Johnson. Gone too soon. It was an honor to share the cage with you.

Descanse em paz Anthony Johnson. Você foi embora muito cedo. Foi uma honra dividir o cage com você.

@Sycho3061 @BellatorMMA Thank you!

[Jose Augusto "Gugu" @joseaugustomma]

Finally going to get back in the @bellatormma cage. So many issues going on with the hand and wrist recovery, but I'm fully healthy and looking forward to put on a show for you guys on March 12th!

[Jose Augusto "Gugu" @joseaugustomma]

Recovery comes first, but I would love to fight twice more this year. I hope I can fight Julius Anglickas in September as he's ranked in the top 5 @BellatorMMA and I want to work my way up to a rematch with Anthony Johnson and fight for the belt.

I got good news today. There was no fracture in my hand, but there's a ligament injury. If all goes well, I could be punching again with my right hand one month from now. I've been doing physical therapy twice a day since I got back to Brazil and I hope to be back pretty soon.

Recebi boas notícias hoje. Não tive fratura na mão, mas tenho uma lesão ligamentar. Se tudo der certo, é possível que eu possa dar socos com a mão direita novamente em um mês. Desde que voltei ao Brasil tenho feito fisioterapia duas vezes por dia e espero logo logo estar de volta

@Illuzivez @MMAFighting @guicruzzz I have a ligament injury, no bone fracture. Should heal up in a month.

@joseaugustomma @arielhelwani @Anthony_Rumble @BellatorMMA @ScottCoker @PatricioPitbull @PatrickyPitbull The most dangerous one handed fighter I’ve ever seen. You almost KO’d Rumble with one hand dude!!! AWESOME!!

[Patricio Pitbull @PatricioPitbull]

I told you guys to keep an eye on him and I'll say it again, @joseaugustomma will be @BellatorMMA LHW Champion in the near future.

[Nolan King @mma_kings]

During my interview with Jose Augusto this morning at Mohegan Sun, this happened. Seeing respect like this never gets old! Story coming soon to @MMAjunkie. #Bellator258

[Jose Augusto "Gugu" @joseaugustomma]

Ao que parece minha mão direita está quebrada. Vou fazer um raio x quando voltar pro Brasil pra confirmar. Espero que não seja nada sério pra poder voltar em breve. Obrigado a todos que mandaram mensagens positivas!

[Jose Augusto "Gugu" @joseaugustomma]

As coisas não saíram como planejado, mas continuo agradecido. Obrigado a todos. O sonho foi apenas adiado. Vou me recuperar, melhorar e voltar muito mais forte. @Anthony_Rumble obrigado pela oportunidade. Espero que possamos lutar de novo no futuro com você como campeão.

[Jose Augusto "Gugu" @joseaugustomma]

Yes, looks like my right hand may be broken. I'll have an X-Ray done once I'm back to Brazil to confirm. I hope it's nothing so serious and that I can return soon. Thank you to everyone who sent me kind words.

[Bellator MMA @BellatorMMA]

How close was @joseaugustomma to shocking the world in Round 1? 😱

But it wasn't meant to be... #Bellator258 rolls on live on @SHOsports 🔥

[Jose Augusto "Gugu" @joseaugustomma]

@ScottCoker @Anthony_Rumble Thank you for the opportunity @ScottCoker @BellatorMMA. I can't wait to be back. I'll work hard to make my way up and entertain the fans again.
