Following his recent viral knockout loss during his venture with Karate Combat, former UFC lightweight contender, James Vick was placed into a medically-induced coma according to the promotional’s leader, who confirmed he had no plans to book the Texan into another fight.
Vick, a former lightweight contender during his time with the UFC, called time on his storied mixed martial arts career back in 2021, following his departure from the Octagon, where he suffered a fractured orbital after another knockout defeat against Andre Fialho.
And exiting the UFC in the midst of a high-profile losing skid against Paul Felder, Justin Gaethje, Dan Hooker, and Niko Price — which included brutal knockout losses against the most recent trio, Vick made the transition to Karate Combat back in June suffering another hellacious stoppage via high-kick against fellow UFC alum, Rafael Alves.
