On September 17, 2007 in Hero’s GP Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante vs. Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro faced for the first time in a fight that lasted about 35 seconds into the first round after Calvacante took Ribeiro down and landed a second punch that caused Riberio’s Retina to become detached. A retinal detachment is a serious and sight-threatening event, occurring when the retina becomes separated from its underlying supportive tissue. The retina cannot function when these layers are detached, and unless it is reattached soon, permanent vision loss may result.
