Warlley alves, who suffered his first defeat in professional MMA against Bryan barberena, at the opening of the main card, will need to be away from fights for six months due to a suspected orbital bone injury. If he presents tests that rule out a fracture, the Brazilian will be released to fight in 45 days.
Yancy Medeiros, who lost to Francisco Massaranduba on the preliminary card, he also received a 180 suspension for the same injury. However, the director of the UFC in Brazil, Giovani Decker, revealed to the “MMA Fighting” website that Medeiros has already had the injury ruled out by the middleweights – therefore, he will only be unable to fight for 45 days.
Among the main stars of the event, there were no major surprises regarding medical suspensions. Fabricio Werdum, knocked out by Stipe Miocic in the main fight, and Vitor belfort, defeated by Ronaldo Jacare, received, respectively, 45 and 60 days of hook. The winners will only need to stay away for two weeks.
