TMZ spoke with Alves moments ago, who told us, “I went and saw a specialist this morning who told me I need to have the minor procedure.” We’re told the procedure will be done in New York.
Alves says he expects to be sidelined from fighting for three weeks — but expects to be back in the gym in two. We asked Alves if he thought a blow to the head from his recent fight with Georges St-Pierre may have caused his condition and he told us, “I don’t think so.”
TMZ also spoke with UFC president Dana White who told us, “He’ll be back … it’s all good.”
Pitbull — who took this photo moments ago — is expected to hold a news conference sometime later today at Sazon restaurant in NY.
