UFC Fight Night 67 medical suspensions: Thiago Alves, Tom Breese face six-month terms

Thiago Alves

Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA), MMA’s regulatory body in Brazil, has issued medical suspensions to fighters from this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 67, and two face lengthy terms.

MMAjunkie today obtained the list of suspensions from CABMMA, which oversaw Saturday’s FOX Sports 1-televised event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Goias, Brazil.

Although CABMMA issues minimum 14-day suspensions to all competitors, 18 of the 24 fighters from UFC Fight Night 67 received longer terms.

Most notably, headliner Thiago Alves (21-10 MMA, 13-7 UFC), who wasn’t allowed to continue past the second round because of a broken nose he suffered in his fight with welterweight Carlos Condit (30-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC), is suspended 180 days. So, too, is Tom Breese (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), who scored a first-round TKO win over Luiz Dutra (11-4-1 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in the nights’s welterweight curtain-jerker.

A physician, though, can clear both Alves (nose) and Breese (left wrist and hand) early.

Aside from the six-month terms, CABMMA doesn’t give the reasoning for the individual suspensions, though fighters who suffer knockout losses or take part in especially grueling bouts usually get longer terms.

• Carlos Condit: Suspended 45 days with no contact during training for 30 days
