“Discharged from the hospital and with my family!” Barcelos (22-6) wrote on Instagram. “I want to thank everyone for the affection, prayers, and positive vibes! God is our victory!”
“Thank God he’s doing well,” UFC CEO Dana White told reporters at the “Contender Series” presser. “He’s doing well and he’s up, walking around, talking. It goes right in line with everything I always talk about and what we do. All the pre-fight medicals were triple-checked. Everything was good. There were six doctors here that night, three ambulances. He was taken straight to the trauma center, not to Valley (Hospital Medical Center). Everything was done the right way. The outcome was good.”
Barcelos, 39, may not agree with that assessment if White prevents him from making his UFC return.
“Not even thinking about that,” White said about the Brazilian’s comeback. “Who gives a sh*t? As long as the kid is okay.”
Barcelos may give a sh*t, depending on his monthly bills.
