UFC bantamweight Raoni Barcelos says he is still waiting for medical answers after losing consciousness during his fight against Raul Rosas Jr. at UFC Vegas 121. The Brazilian reports that he is feeling better, but he has not received a clear diagnosis. He says he needs to complete medical testing and focus on recovery before deciding whether to continue competing.
Multiple outlets report that Barcelos’ collapse happened during the later stages of the bout, and that he spent days in hospital while medical experts assessed the situation. NDTV and Yahoo Sports note that nearly three weeks have passed since the incident, with retirement kept as a possible outcome rather than ruled out. Times of India similarly frames his remarks as ongoing—he wants to fight again, but only after doctors determine what caused the episode and whether it is safe to return.
