Turns out it wasn’t a knockout, but rather swelling in the brain that triggered a shut down.That’s according to former UFC light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira, who was cornering Barcelos in the “Sin City” headliner. Teixeira accompanied his fellow Brazilian to the hospital and was part of the lengthy recovery process, which lasted until Wednesday afternoon.“It was different because it wasn’t a knockout,” Teixeira said on the Overdogs Podcast. “If it had been a knockout, we’re used to that.
