Ray J is reportedly in a Las Vegas hospital after a viral knockout during his MMA fight with Supa Hot Fire.
The 45-year-old R&B singer checked himself into a medical facility roughly two hours after Saturday’s match, TMZ reported. A source close to Ray J told the outlet that he has been there for two days as doctors conduct tests and examine whether he may have suffered a concussion.
The fight took place at UFC Apex during an event hosted by livestreamer Adin Ross. Ray J, whose real name is William Ray Norwood Jr., faced Supa Hot Fire, 35, whose real name is DeWayne DeShawn Stevenson, and who is also known as DeShawn Raw.

The match ended in the second round after Supa Hot Fire landed a knockout punch. Ray J appeared unsteady moments later, falling against the ropes before hitting the mat. He eventually stood up and sat on a stool before the referee called the fight. TMZ also reported that Ray J’s heart rate slowed following the bout.
The match made headlines following Ray J’s post-fight interview, where he alluded to his opponent breaking an alleged arrangement. Ray J suggested that the match was supposed to be fixed in his favor, calling the move “janky as f–k.”
In January, Ray J claimed he had only months to live after a reported hospitalization for pneumonia and “heart pains.”
