Cigano, who, despite having won the fight by the judges' decision, left with a badly bruised face, could spend 180 days without fighting. He will only be released before this period if a CT scan shows that there are no more serious injuries. In any case, Cigano will remain without physical contact for at least 45 days due to a cut on his eyebrow. Miocic was suspended for 45 days, without physical contact for 30 days.
However, Cigano was not the only one to receive a half-year sentence from the commission. Matt Mitrione, Joe Riggs, John Moraga, Jamie Varner, Joe Ellenberger, Henry Cejudo and Anthony Birchack also received similar suspensions, although there are some caveats: Varner announced his retirement from MMA, and Cejudo has already been confirmed for UFC 185, when he faces Chris Cariaso.
