Toshiomi Kazama is happy to live after a brutal knockout loss during the UFC event last Saturday in Las Vegas.
The Japanese Kazama was back in action at the Undercard and took Elia Smith in the Bantam weight department. Just over four minutes in the first round he was hit on his head. The impact of his head that the canvas touched, struck him cold, but Smith then hammered him twice. It was a completely brutal knockout and it took him a few minutes to recover.
Fortunately, Kazama eventually regained consciousness and was then taken to a nearby hospital. In the hospital he underwent a CT scan and was released afterwards. UFC commentator Karyn Bryan announced the good news later on the broadcast.
“Our medical staff took all the precautions, while Kazama was still in the octagon because of the possible seriousness of the injuries he could have ceased to be beaten,” said Bryant (via MMA’s mania). “I spoke with Dr. Jeffrey Davidson. He told me that CT scans of Kazama’s head, face and neck all came back negatively. He will be discharged for a moment.”
After he was fired from the hospital, Kazama stopped with five boys. He then posted on social media for the first time since he left the Octagon.

“Vesta with five boys,” wrote the Japanese hunter in his own language. “For now I am just very happy to live.”
