Better to be safe than sorry …
Following UFC Vegas 122 last night (Sat., Oct. 10, 2026) inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, promotion officials confirmed to MMAmania.com that one fighter was transported to a local “Sin City” hospital for precautionary evaluation after sustaining damage in her bout.
That fighter was Strawweight veteran Loopy Godinez.
Godinez (15-6) was transported for precautionary CT scans of her head and face following her controversial unanimous decision victory over Ketlen Souza.
The 33-year-old escaped “Sin City” with the official win, but very few people agreed with the judges.
Beyond fans immediately labeling the result a highway robbery, all but one media outlet had Souza winning the fight. The Brazilian landed the more damaging strikes and did enough to clearly claim the opening two rounds.
Nevertheless, all three cageside judges awarded the contest to Godinez.
The disputed victory returned Godinez to the win column following her second-round submission loss to former title challenger Tatiana Suarez (watch highlights), which snapped her two-fight winning streak.
At the time of publication, the results of Godinez’s scans had not been publicly disclosed.
It is normal for UFC to transport fighters to the hospital for precautionary reasons, especially after fighters are involved in damaging three-round battles, suffer nasty knockouts, or sustain injuries that need additional evaluation.
