The Raoni Barcelos case continues to be a topic of discussion in combat sports, and now it is Davi Ramos , his coach, who is updating the situation. Last Saturday (26), the Brazilian fought in the main event of UFC Vegas 121 , putting on a real battle against Raul Rosas Jr. , but suffered a sudden illness in the fifth and final round and lost. Accompanying the athlete, who remains hospitalized and undergoing tests, the professional, this Monday (28), took the opportunity to thank the fans for their support and reassure them.

After being knocked down by the American, Raoni lost consciousness, only regaining it some time later and leaving the octagon on a stretcher. From then on, many began to speculate about what happened to the Brazilian, considering the possibility that he had suffered a stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident), popularly known as a stroke, or a heart problem, causing a heart attack, during the fight.
Aware of the concern surrounding the athlete, Davi, on his official Instagram account, made a point of dismissing the rumors and praising him. It's worth noting that, despite the huge age difference (18 years), the veteran reportedly won against the MMA prospect based on the scores of all three judges.
“The Master and I are very happy with Raoni’s performance, with all the work he has done. I want to let you know that Raoni is doing well, to reassure you. Raoni is fine, but yes, please continue praying for him, because that is fundamental for all of us. Thank you for all your affection, for the messages you are sending us.”
"Yes, Raoni did suffer a sudden illness during the fight, but he didn't have a stroke, there was nothing wrong with his heart, no heart attack, nothing like that. In fact, something happened that we still can't explain, we're waiting for the doctors' report and the results of other tests, but I just want to say that he's doing well."
“Yesterday, I spoke with him, we made a video that he will post on his social media. I just want to thank you all. Thank you for all the support. Keep believing in the guy, because the fight he put up there is deserving, worthy of being a champion. Thank you for all your support.”
Official UFC update
“Following his struggle, Raoni Barcelos was immediately transported to a Level 1 trauma center for evaluation. The hospital's medical team performed a CT scan and a comprehensive assessment, and he is currently being monitored.”
