UFC Fight Night 51 Medical Suspensions: Arlovski Out Up to Six Months

On Monday, the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) released the complete list of medical suspensions following UFC Fight Night 51, which took place last Saturday at the Nilson Nelson gymnasium in Brasilia.

The most glaring suspension would undoubtedly belong to Andrei Arlovski, who emerged as the night’s biggest winner following his first round knockout victory over Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva, as he faces the possibility of being sidelined up to six months.

The former UFC heavyweight champion joins Efrain Escudero, who suffered a unanimous decision loss to Leonardo Santos, and Piotr Hallmann, who suffered a close split decision loss to Gleison Tibau in the night’s co-main event, as those fighters who could be out up to 180 days pending medical clearance.

Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva was handed a 60 day suspension with 45 days of no contact.

The complete list of suspensions issued by the CABMMA can be found below.
