‘JZ' Grounded 3-4 Months with Torn ACL
Gesias "JZ" Calvancante has some time on his hands.
The two-time K-1 Hero's lightweight grand prix champion said last week on the Sherdog Radio Network's "Savage Dog Show" that he has been sidelined with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee. The American Top Team lightweight will undergo surgery as early as Friday in the United States and expects a three- to four-month layoff.
Calvancante anticipates a return to Dream -- the collaborative promotional effort between Fight Entertainment Group and Pride's former staff -- by year's end.
His downtime could be put to good use as a scouting period. The 24-year-old will be among the ringside spectators at Dream's lightweight grand prix finals on July 21 at the Osaka Castle Hall in Osaka, Japan.
