September 29 BARCELOS SCARY MOMENT?! 😳 Josh Thomson & Big John React to TERRIFYING UFC Ending
One of the scariest moments we’ve seen inside the UFC cage. 😳
On this episode of McCarthy Mondays, Josh Thomson and Big John McCarthy break down the terrifying ending to the Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Raoni Barcelos main event at UFC Vegas 121.
Barcelos was having a strong fight and was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards heading into the fifth round — before Rosas Jr. scored a takedown and Barcelos went limp following the sequence. Rosas immediately recognized something was wrong and signaled for the referee to stop the fight. Barcelos was attended to by medical personnel and ultimately taken from the APEX on a stretcher.
Josh and Big John take a close look at what happened, the referee’s response, the responsibility of fighters and officials when something goes wrong, and the difficult questions raised by such a frightening ending.
