Raoni Barcelos’ coach gives update on fighter’s condition: ‘Keep praying’

Raoni Barcelos is doing well and undergoing medical tests following a scary collapse during his bantamweight main event fight against Raul Rosas Jr. on September 26, 2026. The 39-year-old fighter suddenly lost consciousness during a fifth-round clinch at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas, leading to an immediate stoppage. Barcelos was subsequently transported to a Level 1 trauma center for a CT scan and a comprehensive medical evaluation.

Barcelos' coach, Davi Ramos, confirmed via social media that the fighter is alert, conscious, and has regained full movement in his limbs. Prior to the stoppage at 1:38 of the fifth round, Barcelos was ahead 39-37 on all three judges' scorecards, but the outcome ended his five-fight winning streak.
