The defeat at a GP could leave an athlete down, but for Gesias Cavalcante it had a positive side. The two fights he made against Shinya Aoki at lightweight Dream GP, being eliminated in the second one, forced Gesias to find a little time to take care of his body, punished after a long bouts sequence since the K-1, and do a knee surgery. "I had this surgery two weeks ago and doing physiotherapy. The recovery is been fast, now I have a new knee. The defeat has not changed in any way, indeed changed for better. I am having a time to recover myself from injuries and giving my body a rest", told the Brazilian, which has a forecast for his back. "I hope to be back in the end of the year or, if there isn’t any event, in the next year", said the ATT athlete.
