Well, that&#8217;s exactly what happened to Ray J on Saturday, May 23. The R &#8216;n&#8217; B singer was brutally knocked out during an MMA competition. Interestingly, his butt-whooping came on the back of his recent claim that he only has months to live.<\/p>\n<p>Ray J faced YouTuber Supa Hot Fire for the bout, which was at Adin Ross&#8217; UFC Apex event in Las Vegas. The singer was put down in the second round, courtesy of a monster blow. If Ray J had one wish, it would likely be that he never stepped foot in that ring, because his head must of been ringing. <\/p>\n<p>Following the strike, which was a punch to the head, Ray J stumbled backward, hitting the ropes before going down. In fairness, he did get back up to his feet. However, just like in the old &#8220;Fight Night&#8221; video games, his legs were spaghetti, leading to him sitting on a stool. That&#8217;s when the fight was called.<\/p>\n<p>During his post-fight interview, Ray J hinted that the fight was supposed to have a predetermined outcome, but his opponent decided to secure the victory instead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;D\u2014n bro &#8230; like that?

His comments came via an Instagram post.<\/p>\n<p id=\"h-ray-j-previously-told-fans-he-was-dying\">&#8220;2027 is definitely a wrap for me,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2026\/05\/24\/celebrity-news\/ray-j-gets-brutally-knocked-out-in-mma-match-months-after-claiming-he-didnt-have-long-to-live\/?_gl=1*1muikal*_ga*MjI1MjI1MjA5LjE3Njg0ODMzMTQ.*_ga_0DZ7LHF5PZ*czE3Nzk2NjYzMzQkbzI0MCRnMSR0MTc3OTY2Njc3MiRqMzckbDAkaDA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">he said, via Page Six.<\/a> &#8220;That&#8217;s what they say.
