Information about the fighter's health status was released on the athlete's Twitter profile this Wednesday (17).

“There were complications and the doctors were unable to wake her up. They are trying many possibilities. We will update you. Thank you for your concern and love,” the text said.

Angela's coach, Gabriel Lamastus, revealed to the MMA Junkie website details of what happened to the fighter.

“She is in a coma. We await good news. The surgery went well, but the anesthesia did not. It is rare for there to be a reaction to anesthesia, but it does happen. I think positively, she will be fine, she will wake up. She is a fighter. I’m thinking positive,” she said.

Angela Magana has an MMA record of 11 wins and 10 losses. She gained fame in the world of fights in 2017, when she got involved in a fight with the Brazilian Chris Cyborg, at the UFC athletes’ meeting. At the time, the American wrote messages on Twitter criticizing Ray Elbe, the Brazilian's boyfriend, and said that the woman from Paraná looked like “Jigsaw”, from the “Saw” film series. Cris went to get satisfaction and they came to blows.

Magana, 35, has three children and before surgery revealed her dream of representing Puerto Rico at the 2020 Olympic Games.
