That was a scary scene.

Saturday night’s UFC Seattle gave fans one of the most vicious knockouts they have seen in recent times. While most of the attention was focused on Israel Adesanya’s return to the octagon, the co-main event stole the show.

However, it wasn’t because it was a dog fight. The former women’s flyweight champion knocked her opponent out with 2:21 left in the first round. After a first one-two combination hurt Barber’s guard, Grasso repeated the same combo.

Barber fell to the ground, where she received another right hand before Grasso put her right arm around her neck to get the win. The Mexican won, while giving fans a violent scene that they will never forget.

Barber tried to wrap her arms around the referee’s leg for assistance. The official lay her out on her back before medical staff rushed to her aid. The flyweight lay with her arms spread wide and her eyes open, but she didn’t look conscious at all.

A new camera angle showed that Grasso waited on her knees as the doctors checked on her opponent. Once Barber regained consciousness, the Mexican celebrated.

That was a scary scene, but Barber appears to be out of danger. After being taken to the hospital for precautionary CT scans, the fighter reposted a message from her partner to let fans know she was ok.

“Part of the game,” Oscar Herrera wrote on Instagram with a photo of Barber checking her phone. “Congrats to Alexa. We got caught but are okay. We’ll be back soon, thanks for everyone checking in.”

Grasso secured a performance-of-the-night bonus after this win, but, as impressive as it was, many were shocked by the aftermath.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
