The new absolute middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg.), Israel adesanya, you will only be out of combat if you want to. Despite having declared that he needs to rest from the intense day of consecutive fights, the medical commission in the state of Victoria, Australia, determined a period of seven days for the athlete to return to normal activities after the UFC 243, held last Saturday (5). The list released by 'MMA Fighting', the athlete who will be out of action the longest is To the fifth, which lost to Dan Hooker in the co-main event.

The former middleweight champion, responsible for, together with Israel, holding the main fight of the event, will be out for 60 days after his setback that led to the loss of the division title. However, the Australian will be able to return to training in 45 days.
To the fifth, who arrived at the event with the pomp of a clear favorite in the duel against Dan Hooker, representing the co-main fight of the night, ended up receiving two surprises. In the first, the athlete ended up suffering an unusual defeat against an opponent who was ranked 15th in the lightweight rankings (up to 70,3kg). After being completely dominated in a three-round fight and declared the loser in the judges' unanimous decision, the athlete will now have to wait 180 days (six months) to return to his activities.
Two Brazilians also had their medical suspensions announced. Bruno Bulldoguinho, who made his debut for the organization and was responsible for opening the card in Melbourne (AUS) ended up defeated by Khalid Taha and had a mandatory leave of absence of 45 days.
