Following UFC 322 last night (Sat., Nov. 15, 2025) inside Madison Square Garden, company officials confirmed to MMAmania.com that two fighters were transported to a local New York hospital for precautionary reasons after their bouts.
The fighters were No. 2-ranked Welterweight Sean Brady and Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) ace Rodolfo Vieira.
Brady (18-2) was taken in for a precautionary CT scan of his head and face following his first-round stoppage loss to surging Welterweight contender Michael Morales in the “Featured” fight of the night (watch highlights). The defeat snapped Brady’s three-fight win streak — a run that included victories over former champion Leon Edwards, Gilbert Burns, and Kelvin Gastelum.
Despite the setback, Brady deserves credit for risking a potential title shot to face one of the division’s scariest rising contenders.
Vieira (11-4) was also transported for a precautionary CT scan after suffering a brutal head-kick knockout at the hands of Bo Nickal (watch highlights). “The Black Belt Hunter” has now alternated wins and losses across his last four appearances and sits at 6-4 overall inside the Octagon.
The results of both fighters’ scans are currently unknown, though they have since been released from the hospital.
It is not a rare occurrence for the UFC to transport fighters to the hospital for precautionary reasons, especially if the fighters are involved in three-round battles that are full of damage or after suffering nasty knockouts.
