On Sunday, Andrade showed the aftermath of the attack. He posted a picture on social media of a brutal cut on his head and said he may be out of the ring for a few weeks.
“Hi everyone and especially Las Señoritas! I’ve just landed back in Miami, where I live, and I went straight to the DR,” he wrote. “I hadn’t been feeling well since the Wednesday after the Grand Slam, but as a professional, I had two shows in Canada with MLP.
“I’ll keep you posted, but I have to be out of action for a few days or weeks. It’s nothing serious, Take care! but… I have one question?”

MJF took a victory lap in his dismantling of Andrade in a subsequent post on X.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA How you know? OH I KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED!” he wrote.
Andrade wrote in a separate post on Instagram that he needed six stitches.
Andrade and MJF have been in the midst of a feud since MJF was loosely aligned with the Don Callis Family.
