Eleven fighters received 180-day medical suspensions by the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) following Saturday night’s UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro, the commission revealed to MMA Fighting on Monday.
The list includes now-retired former champ Glover Teixeira, who suffered a nasal fracture. Jamahal Hill, who defeated him via decision to win the vacant UFC light heavyweight title, is also out potentially out 180 days with a broken nose, per the suspensions.
Former UFC flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo could also sit out six months due to a fractured orbital bone, CABMMA revealed. On Sunday, Figueiredo’s head coach, Maizena, told MMA Fighting the ex-champ had a fractured nose in his stoppage defeat to Brandon Moreno, but further exams showed a different scenario.
Figueiredo later announced on Instagram that he may need surgery and could be sidelined for at least six months due to his injury.
