UFC Fortaleza Medical Suspensions: Charles Oliveira Among Five To Receive Max Sit
Last weekend’s (Sat., February 2, 2019) UFC on ESPN+ 2 from the Centro de Formação OlÃmpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil, was an action-packed event full of great fights.
Because of that action, many of the fighters on the card, including winners, have been dealt some lengthy medical suspensions as a result.
Chief among them was legendary submission wiz Charles Oliveira, who picked up an epic anaconda choke victory over David Teymur on the main card. ‘Do Bronx’ picked up a huge win. He also picked up a potential 180-day medical suspension pending clearance from an opthalmologist after Teymur poked him in the eye twice. Teymur will also be out 180 days pending clearance by an opthalmologist because of a broken orbital bone.
Rogerio Bontorin, Felipe Colares, and Magomed Bibulatov were the other fighters to receive potential 180-day suspensions. Bontorin requires an x-ray of his right thumb, while Colares will need the same for his nose. Bibulatov will need to earn clearance for his right foot.
The main and co-main event fights both ended in finishes. Marlon Moraes submitted Raphael Assuncao in the headliner while Jose Aldo trounced Renato Moicano in a feel-good co-headliner. Despite the fashion in which those fights ended, all four fighters only earn short medical suspensions.
