Of all 24 fighters who entered the Canadian Octagon, Iaquinta was the one with the stiffest suspension. The athlete, however, according to the website ‘MMAJunkie.com’, was not satisfied with the decision of the commission, which published the periods of absence, but did not highlight the causes.

The dilemma will be whether Iaquinta will appeal the decision, or accept the six months' leave. With the defeat, the North American and former division title challenger, who was in fourth place in the lightweight rankings, fell to sixth place.
