the average weight Ronaldo Jacare You will have to stay away from training for at least a month. This is the indication of the Missouri Athletic Commission, which analyzed the Brazilian's defeat to Robert whittaker at UFC Kansas last Saturday and came to the conclusion that the black belt needs to stay out for 30 days to recover from the knockout suffered by the New Zealander. The information is from the North American website “MMA Junkie”.
Only three other athletes were suspended longer than the mandatory seven days for all 26 competitors who were in action this weekend. Both Nathan Coy, submitted by Zak Cummings, and Patrick Williams, knocked out by Tom Duquesnoy, also received a month of medical suspension. Already Andrew Sanchez, violently erased by Anthony Smith, will have to be out of action for 90 days.
Coming from two consecutive victories, over Vitor belfort and Tim Boetsch, Ronaldo Jacare was surprised by Robert whittaker, who left him in trouble in the first round, before knocking him out in the second round, with an impressive sequence of elbows from the guard. It was only the Brazilian's second setback in the UFC, the first by knockout. He was only knocked out twice in his career – in his professional debut, in 2003 against Jorge Patino, and in 2008, against Gegard Mousasi, in Dream.
