Brain Aneurysm Foundation Executive Director Christine Buckley hosts powerful conversations with survivors, experts, and advocates, sharing stories of resilience, hope, and awareness.
In this episode, we’re joined by professional MMA fighter Rafael Barbosa, fresh off winning the Pancrase Lightweight Title. Known for his grit and determination inside the cage, Rafael’s journey took an unexpected turn in 2022 when routine pre-fight medical testing revealed two brain aneurysms—an incidental finding that changed everything.
What followed was a battle far beyond the octagon. Rafael opens up about receiving his diagnosis, navigating treatment and recovery, and the mental and physical challenges of stepping away from the sport he loves.
Now back in the cage, he shares what it meant to return to fighting, how his perspective has shifted, and why prioritizing your health can be life-saving.
