Overview
- Sio, 19, who was placed in a medically induced coma over the weekend, was taken off a ventilator Monday and is awake and speaking under ICU care, according to ProBox TV and her family.
- She was knocked out 78 seconds into Saturday’s bout in San Bernardino, convulsed as she was stretchered from the ring, and was admitted to Loma Linda University Health’s intensive care unit.
- Her team says a January loss came from a liver shot, not a head strike, and that she served a 45‑day suspension and received medical clearance before accepting Saturday’s fight.
- Opponent Jocelyn Camarillo improved to 6‑0 with her first professional stoppage, and Most Valuable Promotions drew criticism for posting a knockout clip before Sio’s condition was known, later sharing messages of support.
- Doctors often use medically induced comas to let the brain rest and control swelling for one to three days, and Sio’s camp says multiple specialist teams are monitoring her with no discharge timeline yet.
