A premature celebration will force Charles Oliveira to spend some time out of the cage. 

According to Shaun Al-Shatti of MMAFighting.com and ESPN's Brett Okamoto, the fighter has been suspended 60 days by the New York State Athletic Commission for leaving the Octagon before his bout against Will Brooks at UFC 210 was officially over.

Oliveira won a first-round submission over Brooks that earned him "Performance of the Night." He followed that up by climbing the fence to celebrate with his team, which was considered leaving the area and is against the rules.

As Okamoto noted, the suspension will expire on June 7.

Despite the mild controversy, this was a big win for Oliveira, who struggled in the featherweight division but returned to action in lightweight for the most recent pay-per-view. Do Bronx is now 22-7 in his career, including just a 7-4 run as a featherweight.
