Out of Bellator for over a year with an ACL injury, Vinicius Queiroz is finally cleared to get back in action.
The Brazilian heavyweight, who stopped Lavar Johnson in 23 seconds at Bellator 102 in 2013, told MMAFighting.com he expects to be back in action in late August or early September, and feels better than ever after the long layoff.
"I fought without my knees since my UFC fight," Queiroz said. "I couldn’t clinch or throw kicks, so I’m motivated to finally being back."
Queiroz was scheduled to meet UFC veteran Cheick Kongo at Bellator 106 in November of 2013, but was sidelined with a severe knee injury.
