Ex-UFC fighter Angela Magana shares emotional video after coming out of coma
"I feel like I’m a very rich woman because I have a lot of time."
Former UFC fighter Angela Magana came out of her two-day coma on Thursday.
On Friday, she shared an emotional video in which she thanked fans and spoke about how lucky she feels to still be alive:
“Hi, guys. I’m awake. I still feel very tired. Like, I can barely open my eyes. But thank you, everybody, for thinking about me. I feel like I’m a very rich woman because I have a lot of time. Look what happened: I almost lost all my time. But to take time to wish somebody well, what do we do with time? We make money. So time’s more valuable than money. So, thank you to everybody who took the time to wish me well. I’m going to make a full recovery. The problem was just the anesthesia. The disc procedure and cauda equina stuff was better than they thought. The surgery was great; it was just the anesthesia. I’m going to get better, and I’ll be fighting again soon. Nothing will stop me, man. And Combate Americas has been so good to me. Thank you.”

Magana fell into a coma after undergoing complications during a back surgery earlier this week.
Magana last fought in the UFC in 2017 and was supposed to fight Kyra Batara at “Combate 35: Reinas” on April 26th.
Thankfully she is now out the coma and recovering.
