A handful of fighters were given medical suspensions from their fights at UFC 153: Silva vs. Bonnar. The card took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil recently.
Stephan Bonnar, who was downed by Anderson Silva in the main event via TKO, was given a 45-day suspension.
Fabio Maldonado and Glover Teixeira, who went to war for 10 minutes – most of which Teixeira dominated – were each given 180-day suspensions.
The suspensions, which were first reported by The Underground, can be cleared earlier than the amount of time given by a doctor in most cases.
