Raoni Barcelos said Monday he is “doing great” after losing to Raul Rosas Jr. at UFC Vegas 121 and being hospitalized when he lost consciousness in the fifth round. The UFC said Saturday night that Barcelos was stable, alert and responsive, with full movement.
Coach Davi Ramos said Sunday that Barcelos was conscious, speaking and moving his limbs while undergoing tests he described as standard for the situation. Ramos said Barcelos would need to rest.
Barcelos entered the fifth round ahead on all three judges’ scorecards. Both fighters received $100,000 Fight of the Night bonuses.
