Following UFC Vegas 111<\/a> last night (Sat., Oct. 11, 2025) inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, company officials confirmed to MMAmania.com <\/a>that two fighters were transported to a local \u201cSin City\u201d hospital for precautionary reasons after their bouts.<\/p>\n

The two fighters were Marco Tulio and former UFC Bantamweight title challenger Mayra Bueno Silva.<\/p>\n

Tulio (14-2) was sent for a precautionary CT scan of his head and face after suffering a brutal knockout loss at the hands of Christian Leroy Duncan, which left him unconscious for several minutes (watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old Brazilian saw his 10-fight win streak snapped \u2014 his first loss since 2018. Before UFC Vegas 111, Tulio had earned back-to-back finishes over Tresean Gore (watch highlights<\/a>) and Ihor Potieria in his first two Octagon appearances.<\/p>\n

Bueno Silva (10-6-1) was also taken to the hospital for a precautionary CT scan of her head and face, as well as an X-ray of her foot, following a three-round beatdown from Jacqueline Cavalcanti on the UFC Vegas 111 prelims. The former title challenger has now dropped four straight fights \u2014 the longest losing streak of her career \u2014 and could be facing a release from the promotion. Bueno Silva is now 5-6-1-1 inside the Octagon.<\/p>\n

The results of both fighters\u2019 scans are currently unknown, though they have since been released from the hospital.<\/p>\n

It is not a rare occurrence<\/a> for UFC to transport fighters to the hospital for precautionary reasons, especially if the fighters are involved in three-round battles full of damage.<\/p>\n
