During media day for the UFC Vegas 58 event, dos Anjos was asked about his time away from the cage, to which he gave some insight into the difficulties he went through trying to get a groin injury assessed.
“Recovery, because during the both the surgery, I was in Brazil, and doctors in the United States couldn’t figure out what I had,” RDA said. “I would be retired if it wasn’t for Brazil. Yeah, I went to two, three different doctors and they couldn’t say, okay, your MRI cool, I don’t see any dysfunction in your groin.
“But I went to Brazil, I did a different type of MRI and they find the dysfunction on my groin and then I got the surgery. And here I am 100% But like during that time, I just enjoy my family trying to grow up spiritually. And you know, was a very tough moment for me.”
