Dana
\nWhite<\/a> has addressed Raoni
\nBarcelos<\/a>\u2019 concerning stoppage loss to Raul Rosas
\nJr.<\/a><\/p>\n

Barcelos was ahead on the judges\u2019 scorecards heading into the fifth
\nround of his
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> main event against Rosas Jr. at
\nMeta APEX in Las Vegas on Sept. 26. However, the Brazilian appeared
\nto lose consciousness during a wrestling exchange against the
\nOctagon wall, prompting the referee to stop the
\nUFC Vegas 121<\/a> headliner. He was later removed from the Octagon
\non a stretcher.<\/p>\n

\nresults<\/h2>\n

Barcelos was transported to a hospital, where he subsequently
\nregained consciousness. According to White, Barcelos is lucid and
\nable to walk while awaiting test results to determine what caused
\nthe episode.<\/p>\n

White said all pre-fight medicals were triple-checked before the
\nevent. According to the UFC CEO, three ambulances and six doctors
\nwere present at Meta APEX when Barcelos lost consciousness. White
\nalso said Barcelos was sent directly to a Level I trauma center
\nrather than Valley Hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the pre-fight medicals were triple-checked; everything was
\ngood,\u201d White said at the
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> Season 10
\nWeek 8<\/a> post-fight presser. \u201cThere were six doctors here that
\nnight, three ambulances. He was taken straight to the trauma
\ncenter, not to Valley. Everything was done the right way and the
\noutcome was good.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for whether Barcelos will fight again, White said his primary
\nconcern is the 39-year-old\u2019s health.<\/p>\n
